Word Question

[caudio51]

Anyone know what this character is?

It means there is a paragraph there. Every time you hit enter a new one will appear.

Notice how that button with the same symbol is selected? (next to 110%)

They used to have that on Word in highschool. No clue bro although I used to know.

I know quite a few people who type with that on all the time...it annoys me.

Thanks guys

I've never seen it before. It was annoying the hell out of me

Yeah its the symbol that literally means paragraph. It doesn't show up when you print.

You can hide it along with other "invisibles" like space bar

My teacher would add it on my paper when i was in 3rd grade.

Thanks Tom...I feel kinda old now.

I used to teach the MS Office Suite in college classes. As a few others have mentioned it it the end-of-paragraph mark and is placed at the end of every paragraph. I also appears on blank lines, since they constitute a paragraph to Word. To turn them off so they no longer appear in your document you should see a button on one of the tool bars at the top of the screen which has the same symbol on it. Just click on that button to turn them off, or back on again. A lot of professional typists keep them on so they can tell what's going on in their document. Word Perfect used to imbed a lot of these hidden codes to control aspects of a document.

PM me if you need more help...
