How do I remove paragraph symbols on every line in Word?
Do you mean the paragraph markers that show up when the show/hide key
(paragraph symbol located on the standard toolbar) is activated. Just click on that button on the toolbar and the marks will go away. I like using the paragraph marks when formatting. Also, they never print out. "Peter T.

If the actual paragraphs are separated by two (or more) paragraph symbols, then use Find/Replace (Ctrl-H) to Find two paragraph marks (^p^p) and Replace with something not otherwise used in your document (such as line break, ^l [lowercase L]), then Find/Replace every paragraph mark (^p) with a space (type spacebar in the Replace with box), then Find/Replace each line break (^l) with a paragraph break (^p). (If each of the lines ends with a space before the paragraph mark, then Replace ^p with nothing at all -- leave the Replace with box empty.) Or maybe you hit "Enter" at the end of each line, as if you were using a typewriter? Don't do that.

If there is no text, it's on the left. How do I remove this? . |
