Paragraph marks appear in deleted text in Track Changes
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.AnneHY The Pilcrow symbol shows as what was deleted to indicate that it was an empty paragraph, or some text including the end of the paragraph was deleted so that two paragraphs become one.
In the following example, if the shaded text that spans from one paragraph into the next is deleted
so that the two paragraphs become one, the pilcrow symbol is included in the representation of the deleted text to signify that the text that was deleted was originally part of two paragraphs
- My apologies. I was not clear in my initial question.
I want to remove the paragraph and other formatting marks in deleted text. I have never had them and don't want them now as they make that text difficult to read.
