RE: [libreoffice-users] RE: My Pilcrow is gone. (Non printing Characters)

Are you talking about an ACTUAL PHYSICAL inclusion of the "¶" that you want to see in printed copy 
and on the display?

Or are you talking about an option in your software (View | Non-printing characters) that SHOWS 
where the paragraphing is by displaying pilcrows.  These are not actually in your text but are 
being presented by the software on your display to show you the details that you asked to see 
(there really isn't any non-printing character there either, but that doesn't matter).  This 
setting is not (necessarily) conveyed in your document, so if you look at the document in another 
installation of the software, you have to turn on their display in the new place.  They still won't 
print though, unless you've found a separate File | Printer Settings ... | Options for that.

Is this helpful in your case?

Tom,Thanks for the input.And also to MJK.  I took a quick look at the link supplied by MJK.  But 
have not had time to read to much other than that the Pilcrow disappearance may be a bug.
If in fact it is a bug, what is the procedure to let the software types at LibreO.o know about it?
I'd rather not re-install LibreOffice on both of my systems from scratch and have it happen again 
while I'm in the middle of working on something.  It's very hard doing what I do without being able 
to see the hidden characters.  
Thanks again.
Bob
