Default Unwanted Symbol

I have Microsoft Word 2003. Everytime I open up a new document, an image
appears in the upper left hand corner of the page. It looks like a bold,
reversed, duoble lined P symbol. According to the SYMBOL Drop Down Menu it
says the following: Pilcrow Sign - Character Code: 00B6 - From: Unicode
(HEX) - Short Cut Key: ALT+0182.

How do I permanently get rid of this symbol. Thanks for your help.

It is a paragraph end marker. Click the matching button on the Standard
Toolbar or Press CTRL+Shift+8 to toggle the display.
If it remains when you do that : Tools Options View and uncheck all the
choices under 'formatting marks' and in particular 'Paragraph Marks'.
