Trouble deleting (not hiding) pilcrow

[PianoGal]

Hi! I'm editing a doc that I didn't create, and the creator used hard
returns to make more white space. Usually, I can just backspace and get rid
of the white space, but sometimes there are stubborn ones that will not
delete. I even tried the trick of going to the first one and pressing delete
to get subsequent ones to delete. I'm using Word2003 on a PC with XP.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I've had this happen in the past. For me, it was when there were tracked
changes in the document but they weren't showing up on the screen. On the
reviewing bar, if it says "Final", change it to "Final Showing Markup". Once
I accepted them all, I was able to delete the para marks.

Thank you! Boy, did that do the trick!
