Format markers
I am not sure if this is the right ng but figured you guys would know
immediately anyway. In some paragraphs in some of my documents, the first character in the paragraph is preceded by a small filled-in square. I figure it must have something to do with the formatting because I can make it happen by formatting the paragraph as "keep with next". I have also seen it in other circumstances but I haven't been able to find anything on it in Help. What does it signify? TIA Len |

Format markers
You've discovered part of the reason why that particular marker appears.
Several of the other features in the same dialog are also responsible. For more have a look he http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 1/5/07 8:55 PM, in article , "Len B" gonehomeatoptusnet:com:au wrote: I am not sure if this is the right ng but figured you guys would know immediately anyway.

Format markers
Thanks Bob.
Just the ticket. I knew most of the stuff in the article but now I know that the back to front P is called a pilcrow and how to distinguish between non-breaking, en and em spaces when I see them. I would never have thought to double click a bullet! Thanks Bob Len "CyberTaz" wrote in message .. . You've discovered part of the reason why that particular marker appears.
