SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word for Windows, if you format a paragraph mark in a larger point size than the text beside it, the paragraph mark can be clipped on the screen.

MORE INFORMATION
Word for Windows determines line height from the height of the characters on the line, not the paragraph mark. If you reduce the line height, Word clips the larger paragraph mark to fit the new line height.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Select Show All. Select a paragraph mark and format it for Roman 24-point.
 * 2) To the left of the paragraph mark, type some text.
 * 3) Press SHIFT+HOME to select the text, and press CTRL+SPACE to remove the Roman 24-point formatting.

Notice that the line height decreases to match the text. You can select the paragraph mark and format it for a smaller point size.
