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, thank you for all the time you're spending on this.
I cannot delete the pilcrows in the main text individually except by deleting the paragraphing (thus running all the text together on one line). Perhaps that's what you meant.
I just don't understand why this (pilcrows and other formatting appearing in text deleted from a body of text with pilcrows off) started in the first place. If I knew that, I could reverse the glitch in the system.
Is there a way to ask a Word developer to see if tehy have any ideas about why this malfunction occurred and how to fix it?

AnneHY It is NOT a glitch or a malfunction! When the revision involves deleting a paragraph, or the end part of paragraph so that the remaining text is merged with the next paragraph, word has ALWAYS shown the pilcrow representing the end of the paragraph that was deleted in the balloon. Here is a screen shot from Word 2003
- Interesting. I've been using Word for decades and never had this occur. I must have had the glitch myself all along.
Oh well, it seems like I'm stuck with it then. What a blob.
Thank you so much for all your help and time on this, Doug. I appreciate it.
