    Many years ago, our Audit team used this. I remember codes and then F2 (or similar). You could have this created and shared amongst a team for creating report writing templates (in our case).

    B101,F2 might produce and entire paragraph on unprotected passwords.

    I'd think something like this could be used for the simple paragraph symbol up to larger, commonly used text.

    Thanks y'all. And I will try to remember that alt 20 thing. Years ago, I did set up the section symbol as alt-s on my computer, but alt-p was reserved for printing or something.

    But in any event, I find it weird that Word makes it so multistep to get it, and it's 2 additional steps deeper even after you choose "insert/symbol". At least for lawyers, Core Shot notwithstanding, it's a common textual reference to other documents.

    Instead of an edit on my previous post...looks like it is called AutoText

And why does it not have a shortcut either?

    Am I just doing it wrong, is there an easier way? Or are lawyers the only ones who use it, and we're such a small subset that it deserves to be way more hidden than, for ex, the greek letter beta?
    For decades I've assigned shortcut keys to paragraph and section. Super easy to do. Alt-P Alt-S.

    I did alt-s years ago, but on my computer it wouldnt allow alt-p because that was for printing or something.

    and I just discovered that the alt-20 things isn't working for me, maybe because I'm on my laptop and don't have a number pad?

    ctrl P is print. If you call me I can walk you through it provided you have the latest version of Word. Just go to insert, symbol, find the one you want, then there is a button for shortcut key.

    you're right re print, but whatever it was, the system would not let me use alt-p. Like I said, I set alt-s for the section so I know how to do it. But fuck me running, it let me do it today. No idea why it wouldn't let me do it years ago, maybe I was so high I kept trying ctrl-p, even though I had just set up alt-s for the section.

    Driving down MT-191 to Big Sky and its 8:30 in the am and traffic is heavy and piled up. 2 cars back is some exotic car that would give Bobby a woody. Get to a passing lane, lots of oncoming traffic and he whips out and passes to get in front of me, baby blue Maclaren with WA vanity plate Too Fast. We get into a narrow stretch that is 2x yellow and still backed up when a new Porsche makes a pass to get behind the Maclaren. The next 10 miles is curvy, packed and lots of oncoming traffic. We hit the next section with some passing lanes but traffic is still heavy in both directions. I am able to watch a couple more hair raising passes. We pull into Big Sky and the light is red for southbound traffic and there are 6 exotics at the light and 3 more pull in behind. Light turns green and they take off south bound like a bat outta hell.

    Cannonball?

    It's a reference thing. Documents -- contracts, briefs, etc -- often have numbered parts. Sometimes they are labeled as numbered "sections" (when each section has multiple paragraphs) and sometimes they are labeled as numbered "paragraphs" and sometimes they are just numbered. So, when you are discussing that document, either in a letter or a brief, you need to refer back, and often that is not done by page number but by section or paragraph number (because page number is less precise), especially when each paragraph has a number. In that case, the reference is usually going to be to the paragraph number, and that is done with the ¶ symbol (especially in citations, less so when it is a textual reference).

    I find that litigators, dirt lawyers and general practitioners use “Paragraph” when what they should use is “Section” since they’re already clearly fucking numbered, lettered, and romanetted.

    That’s my petty rant for the day.

    Why are there mormon missionaries in Utah?

    Just told a pair to get the fuck off my porch. Apparently they can’t read the large no soliciting sign on the front door.
    The look on their faces was worth the price of admission though.

    One might argue they were not soliciting but proselytizing. You need to fix your sign.
