Default How to remove "|" character in Word

Hello:



I'm hoping someone can help!

I just discovered I have and odd, character an "|", that showed up on a important document that I did not type, and can't seem to delete.

My only guess on how it appeared is that it was some sort of character that Word automatically included when I had the "track changes" feature turned on, or something like that.

At any rate, it shows up both on the screen and when the document is printed. I've tried to put the cursor next to the "|" and hit the delete key, but it just deletes the last paragraph, not the offending character.

I'm assuming there some background feature on Word that I somehow need to turn off or change in some where, but I'm not sure where to go or how to do this.

Here's the offending paragraph with the unwanted "|":

Work History:
| Administrative Assistant, Premier Staffing, assigned to DENSO Products and Services
Long Beach, CA, 2013 – 2014

How can I get rid of it?

BTW, as a weird fluke, when I cut-and-pasted the document into this screen, the "|" didn't show up, so I had to type it into here manually.... While that seems to confirm my suspicions that its some sort of weird background feature that I have to turn off, unfortunately I'm still stumped on how to fix it. Please help!
