It might be worrying because it suggests that something is messed up, or at
least the possibilty that some characters might not be what you expect them
to be. However, if I apply the Benguiat Bk BT font to a table (for example),
it also displays the table paragraph markers as Euros. To me, this suggests
only that whoever conjured the Benguiat Bk BT font wasn't coordinating their
efforts with Microsoft.
If everything prints okay, then don't worry. But, if you use any characters
outside the normal array of letters, punctuation, and numbers, check
carefully to make sure that everything is displayed the way it should be for
printing purposes.
As to Euros for table markers, I guess that such tables must be more
expensive than the normal kind. :-) Or, maybe it's assumed that the tables
are located in European casinos, in which case Euros for table markers might
be expected. The thought of having to pay a Euro for each cell in every
table I create would indeed be cause for worry... all seriousness aside.

Suzanne,
Please clarify why it's "worrying." I've set it to show formatting marks
and
it's showing the Euro symbol instead of the paragraph marker in tables
that
are formatting with Belizio-Regular 9.5 font.

That's a bit worrying; if you have nonprinting characters displayed, you
should see the paragraph mark as ¶. If they're not displayed, of course,
you
won't see them looking like a euro or anything else.

Thanks, Suzanne! It looked a bit strange and I didn't want to turn the
file
over to the client this way, so I applied Times New Roman and the
paragraph
marker went away entirely.
Appreciate your help!

Every font has its own rendition of the paragraph mark. Some are
decidedly
odd-looking. Provided it represents an Enter, the way it is rendered
won't
make any difference. If you apply Times New Roman to just the
paragraph
mark
and it looks normal, then don't worry about it.
The paragraph marks don't print, so they shouldn't affect a PDF in
any
way.
If you want to use the paragraph mark character as a character and
want
one
that looks more traditional, then format it with a different font.

I'm working with a WORD 2003 manual that was converted from
FrameMaker. In
the tables (and only in tables), the paragraph marker looks like a
Euro
symbol. I'm using Belizio font as my Normal font. I haven't been
able
to
change this Euro paragraph marker to the usual paragraph marker.
Will this Euro paragraph marker cause any problems down the road?
The
file
will be PDF'ed.
If so, how do I change it?
