How do I take off symbol begining each line

[Mlarson]

I have a symbol that looks like a backwards P at the begining of each line.
I don't know how it got there, so naturally I can figure out how to get it
off.

It always astonishes me that people complain about the display of the ¶ symbols
(the paragraph marks) but never notice that the same symbol is on the toolbar
(or Home ribbon, if this is Word 2007).

But how did s/he get it at the _beginning_ of each line?

I suspect it's at the end but if you don't know what it is, it could be
assumed to be at the beginning. Or it could be a typo?

I wondered the same thing. An interesting prank where someone defined the
pilcrow as a bullet and then applied that bullet format to Normal style?
Hmm... <g>

I assumed that it appears as the only thing on a new line, and then the OP types
there. Given the general obliviousness of many posters here, I'm rarely
surprised by what might be termed "your other left".

I'm starting to detect sarcasm, irony, and cynicism in this thread. Keep up
the good work.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Oh, surely not. I am shocked--shocked!--that you could think this. <g>

Please pardon me. I must have been projecting my sarcastic, ironic, cynical
attitude on the rest of the world.
