Default Paragraph symbol that looks like Euro symbol?

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 ΒΆ. 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

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?
