Black square formatting mark €“ Word 2007
I have applied Keep with Next to a paragraph which has the Normal style
applied. The black square formatting mark has appeared. What does this mark signify in Word 2007? My understanding in older versions was that it meant a style had been applied, e.g. Heading 1. This is not the case in my example, the paragraph is still using the Normal style Any clarification to help me with the complexity of 2007 would be appreciated. |

The square does _not_ mean that a style has been applied. It means that one of the paragraph format options "Keep with next," "Keep lines together," "Page break before," or "Suppress line numbers" has been applied, either directly or through a style. Since many of the built-in heading styles include "Keep with next" in their definitions, the square appears in those headings -- but, as you've seen, it can also appear in other places. This is not new behavior; it's the same in Word 2007 as in earlier versions.
