Does the appearance of the text change when you hide the nonprinting
characters? I have seen some documents where paragraph marks were colored
(red, usually) to visually indicate that they are formatted as Hidden. If
that were the case, then you would see two paragraphs join when the
paragraph marks were not displayed.
No, the appearance does not change. The text is in caps and colored red.
The Paragraph markers are green, red, black and blue. I'm trying to format a
list of events with four columns that someone else created and was just
wondering if there was any significance that I should be aware of that would
make my task easier.
There's no color code; the font is red because it is a list in the center of
a document and is colored red for attention, I guess. But why are the
paragraph marks at the end of each paragraph within the list colored with
different colors when nothing changes between paragraphs?
I'm sure that it means something, but if no one knows, that's okay. It's
not that important.
What it means is that the document creator went to some trouble to apply
these font colors to those paragraphs. This is not something that Word would
do on its own--unless they are remnants of change tracking by a multitude of
"reviewers." You might try displaying the Reviewing toolbar and choosing
Accept All Changes in Document to see if this gets rid of the colors. Or you
could change the color used for markup from "By Author" to a single color to
see if that makes the paragraph marks all the same color.
