Hi Helen. Yes, you can create a macro that formats the paragraph mark
as hidden and changes the color of the paragraph mark to another color.
The macro might look like:
Sub HiddenParaMark()
'
' HiddenParaMark Macro
'
With Selection.Font
.Hidden = True
.Color = wdColorPink
End With
End Sub
I chose the hot pink color in the example, but you can choose any color
you want. You can assign the macro to either a toolbar button or a
keyboard shortcut through Tools | Customize.
How it works is: you create a paragraph of one style on one line, a
paragraph of another style on the next line, manually highlight the
paragraph mark at the end of the first line, and run the macro. Of
course to be able to see the hidden text on screen, you will need to
turn on Hidden Text in Tools | Options | View.
Hope this helps.
