Default What is this small square icon in my Word document?

Hello,



I've found that some formatting issues I've been running into have been resulting from the lack of an inconspicuous black square formatting symbol that appears when I enable hidden formatting to be displayed:

Those little black squares that i've circled, what ARE those? When they're there, everything works fine, but when those black squares aren't there, everything's all weird with template formatting.

How can I add those black squares?

They're just markers to show you that the paragraphs concerned are formatted with, say, the 'keep with next' attribute. Formatting with 'keep together', etc. also cause those markers to be displayed.

Cool beans, thanks. That does add the black square when I format a paragraph with that attribute.
