Document not layed out properly when not viewing hidden characters

I have a document that uses different headings (both using the same heading
style). If I look at the document with hidden characters turned on, I see the
doc has 2 paragraphs. The first one has a heading as does the second one.
However, if I turn off hidden character, paragraph 2 jumps up and becomes
part of section 1 to make one big paragraph. When I print, whether or not I'm
viewing hidden characters, it prints it as one big paragraph.

If I delete the paragraph mark after the first paragraph and hit enter
(essentially inserting a new paragraph mark), the second paragraph stays and
prints correctly. Why is this doing this?

This happens if the paragraph mark is hidden.
 
I think Fredrik E. Nilsen meant that the paragraph character itself might be
formatted as hidden text. Select the paragraph marker by placing your cursor
immediately in front of the paragraph marker. Hold the shift key down and hit
the right arrow one time. The paragraph marker will then be highlighted.
Then go to Format - Font and see if it's formatted as hidden. If it is,
unclick that option.

I hope this helps.
