To the comments of Ed Sheehan (deleting any paragraph mark causes
Word to obtain formatting info from the next mark), I can only
add this guess: Perhaps Mr. Schellens is looking at documents
that contain different fonts or font sizes (maybe as part of a
style?) If so, this might make it look like the paragraph signs
are somehow different.
