How to change the appearance of paragraph marks (¶) to the line break symbol (↵) in Word?
I’m trying to figure out why Microsoft Word displays paragraph marks differently on my desktop versus my laptop.
On my desktop, Word shows a light, unobtrusive "↵" symbol for paragraph ends (similar to the one in this post: [Link to the post]). However, on my laptop, it displays the thick, dark "¶" symbol for the exact same function. I strongly prefer the "↵" appearance and would like to know how to configure my laptop to match it.
To clarify, I am not referring to "manual line breaks" (Shift+Enter). In both cases, I am simply pressing "Enter" to create a new paragraph, but the visual representation of the mark is different.
I’ve already tried changing the display settings (File -> Options -> Advanced -> Show document content), but it dont't work. I couldn't find a way to change this. Does anyone know if this is a hidden setting, a font-related issue, or a version difference?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🙏
