Mysterious icon when showing paragraph and text marks

Unread post by Swede »

Hi,
What does the icon with the number "3" mean in this image? It shows up in one of my projects when I choose to view paragraph and text marks. The text was copied from a Word document so I'm guessing it has something to do with it but it would be nice to know what it means. Thanks!

As you have guessed, that will be something that has come in from Word, which is so overloaded with arcane formatting that it frequently spits out stuff like this when you copy from it. It won't mean anything in HM, but if you are concerned about it I would just select that heading and then select Convert to Plain Text in the right-click context menu and then reapply the style. That will get rid of it. 8)
