Actually is is "ShowPara" and it is a built-in Word command. For whatever
reason there is not, or a least doesn't appear to be, a built-in Word
command for ShowTab.
So, is there a bunch of ready-to-go macros sitting somewhere, such
that if one only knows their name, one can just pop them into use?
They are called built-in Word commands and the list is available using the
Macro dialog/Macros in dropdown.
You can add practically any icon to the QAT

Thank you ... now, this is weird!! As soon as I put the title of the
new macro, "ShowParas," into the box for the title of the new macro, a
pre-written macro appeared in the box at the bottom, and all I had to
do was OK it!
The same, however, did not happen when I tried to make another one for
ShowTabs. I had to paste Graham's six lines and delete the
ShowParagraphs one.
And unfortunately there aren't any ideal icons in the available
collection ... I used the green right-pointing triangle for Paras and
the fat blue right-pointing arrow for Tabs.

The following will toggle paragraphs and tabs display. If you only
want
paragraph marks toggled, remove the tabs line

.ShowTabs = Not .ShowTabs
.ShowParagraphs = Not .ShowParagraphs
End With

I'd like a QAT button for Paragraph Marks. I have them (and Tabs)
always on (but not the other Non-Printing Characters), but they
interfere considerably when dealing with tables. Especially since the
Paragraph Mark coding is used in some non-roman fonts for actual
letters, so they appear in the cells rather than faint circles.
