Silly Problem with Paragraph Symbol

Hi,

Silly question, but....I somehow have a paragraph symbol stuck at the beginning of all my Word documents that I can't get rid of.  I've tried 'cut', 'delete', 'backspace' and all the options 'help' suggested.  It simply won't go away.  I also uninstalled and reinstalled Microsoft  Works Suite and it's still there.  Just the symbol.  It has nothing to do with indenting or starting a paragraph.  Any suggestions on how to get rid of it?  Should I try uninstalling and reinstalling again?

Thank you,
