Paragraph marks appear in deleted text in Track Changes
In the middle of editing a Word document with Track Changes on, paragraph and indent symbols began appearing in the deleted text. Paragraph symbols were off (I never use them) in the body of the text...
Doug_Robbins_Word_MVPThanks for the suggestion. Sadly, I have checked this (repeatedly, actually). I have it always set to off as I never want paragraph marks.
Can you upload a copy of the document so that we can investigate the issue.
Thank youDoug_Robbins_Word_MVP
AnneHY The revision is showing what actually happened. When it is an empty paragraph that is deleted, that is shown in the revisions as "Deleted: ¶"
In the original document, there were two empty paragraphs between the paragraphs that contain text shown below
and one of them was deleted
- Yes.
It's odd because I always have "show/hide formatting" off. There is no reason for these formatting marks to show up in deleted text and I'd like to get rid of them. It clutters that text and makes it hard to read - something I frequently need to do.
- Certainly will, thanks. I just can't see how to do that.
