Default Character to show punctuation.

My memory doesn't serve me, but what is that special character that looks
like a funny "P" that shows all the paragraph formatting, hard and soft
returns, etc. in Word.

How do I get it to show up in my typing?

It's called a pilcrow, and it's at 00B6 (in the Latin-1 character subset) in
Insert | Symbol. That's if you actually want it to print. If you just want
to display nonprinting characters, press Ctrl+* or click the button with the
¶ on it.
