Default Different types of paragraph marks...

Thanks DeanH.
I believe you know what I am talking about. Yes, there is a dual language
setup.
So... any thoughts on how to fix it?

Stop clicking Shft+Enter.
Sorry could not resist ;-)
On the other computer, is there other language setup as the only time I have
seen the different paragraph marks, instead of the pilcrow, was on a laptop
from Asian.
Not really a solution but a possible reason.
Hope this helps

Ok to clarify...

I know the difference between a "hard carriage return" and a "soft carriage
return".

hard carriage return = paragraph marks
soft carriage return = line break

The problem I am facing is that on two different computers, the hard
carriage return looks different.

Just so you people don't think I'm confused, the hard carriage return with a
bent arrow has a longer vertical shaft.

Meanwhile, the bent arrow symbolizing the soft carriage return has a longer
horizontal shaft.

So please... don't tell me that I am hitting "shift+enter"... because it is
not that.

Ok, here's my problem. My coworker showed me her document. It has left-bend
arrows at the end of every line. And NO, they are not line breaks. I know
what a line break looks like.

When I open the document on my computer, the left-bend arrows look like
paragraph marks.

I remember reading somewhere that you can change the style of the paragraph
mark. I just can't remember where! And I am 100% positive that I have done
it before 2 years ago. The only problem is I forgot how to do it.
