Where do I find the symbol for "paragraph"? As in page 3, par 2.

I want to be able to use the symbol for the word "paragraph". The symbol I'm
looking for is like a backwards "p" with the round portion blacked in with
two vertical lines. I see it in letters, I know it's out there in some font,
but I cannot find it. Help?

It's in almost every font (except the symbol-type ones) at character
position 182. One way to get it into a Word document is to hold down
the Alt key while you type 0182 on the number pad (with NumLock turned
on) to get ¶.
