Printing nightmare

[catgate]

I seem to have acquired another print character that does not appear on any keyboard. It is like a capital " P"but is facing the opposite way and has an additional  "leg"    ( lP in reverse.)

Suddenly, for no apparent reason, it keeps appearing like a plague at the beginning of virtually every lines of text . Additionally there is a  lifted full stop between every letter.

I have been doing a bit of  editing  and shuffling about of some files, using Libre Office Writer in the normal manner, and this has suddenly crept out of the woodwork. I would like to know:-

A) What is it?

B) What right has it messing me about like this?

C) How do I get rid of it without recourse to petrol and matches?

• It's a non printing formatting character that indicates you've hit the enter key on a text file. Also known as the Paragraph marker.
• Every right as it generally doesn't appear spontaneously so you've probably told it to show up by accident.
• In LibreOffice Writer go to the View menu look about half way down and click on "Non printing characters" alternatively use Ctrl & F10 keys.

You both sound right on the money to me.
