In all of our documents new and old this symbol is all over it. Can someone
pls help me to get my documents back to normal. The symbol looks like a
capital P but has double lines.

It's a pilcrow ¶ (a non printing formatting character) which indicates an
end of paragraph.

They're "nonprinting characters" or "formatting marks." See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/NonPrintChars.htm for some reasons why
you might find it helpful to have them displayed.
