Default What does this symbol mean ¶ (in red)?

¶ is a paragraph mark, which indicates that you have nonprinting marks
displayed. You can hide them by pressing the ¶ (Show/Hide) button on the
Standard toolbar (Word 2003) or on the ribbon (Word 2007).

Text in red could indicate that someone inadvertently formatted the text in
red color. However, if inserted text is underlined and deleted text is
marked with a strikethrough, it is likely that Track Changes has been turned
on. In Word 2007, you can turn it off by clicking Review tab | Track Changes
| Track Changes. Then click Accept | Accept All Changes in Document. For a
description of similar commands in Word 2003, see
