Show PILCROW Symbol in StyleRef field

[Janine]

Has anyone ever achieved this - inserting a pilcrow symbol in a styleref
code?
I've used the ALT and shortcut keys and a graphic and nothing works?

Any ideas anyone?

Are you actually looking for a pilcrow symbol or a paragraph break? How are
you wanting to use it?

Hi Suzanne

I want to use styleref code in a hdr using heading 1 or 2

1. ABC Pilcrow Symbol

It does not acknowledge pilcrow symbol - is okay with other symbols. This goes back to 97 that I can see same issue - no resolution?

You still haven't explained why you want the pilcrow symbol. If you want a
paragraph break, just press Enter. But note that you'll need two StyleRef
fields if you want to pick up two different styles. Perhaps the paragraph
break is meant to go between them?

I want the PILCROW Symbol included in the heading (nothing to do with
paragraph Pilcrow).

Okay, so you have a pilcrow symbol in the heading, and the StyleRef field is
not picking it up? Yes, I can replicate that here. Even inserting it as a
SYMBOL or QUOTE field doesn't help. Word can be very peculiar about that
character. It used not to be possible to paste it from Word into Outlook
Express (which I took to mean that it wasn't possible to copy it in Word),
but that is no longer the case. And I believe it used not to be possible to
paste it into Find; now you can, and there's also a special code for
inserting it (^v). I guess you've just run up against one of Word's
mystifying flaws.
