  Deborah, in Word you can right-click on a paragraph, then select Paragraph
from the context menu that appears.  I've found that "unexplained
occurrences" can often be dealt with from the Paragraph window.  Also if you
click on the paragraph symbol on the menu bar, you'll see things like
paragraph returns, spaces, and tabs ... these sometimes cause strange things
when you don't know they're there.
