It's called a pilcrow. Hit the button with that symbol on your tool bar one
time.

Thanks. That pilcrow wasn't on my tool bar, but it was simple to add it and
then delete it from my doc. I feel kinda stupid! Thanks for the help.

The Show/Hide ΒΆ button is on the Standard toolbar by default. If you are not
seeing it, it's because you've got adaptive menus enabled and/or Standard
and Formatting toolbars on one row. You can change both these settings on
the Options tab of Tools | Customize.

For some reasons why you might want to see nonprinting characters
(formatting marks), see
