I opened MS Word 2010 today to find that whenever I add a new line I get strange symbol.
When I press enter multiple times I get one on each line. This is very strange to me and I need to get rid of this. It happened from today itself. I checked for MS Word Replacing Characters with Line Breaks but it of no help.
How can i change this? What may be the possible root cause? Is it because of a crash or something?

Are the characters pilcrows (¶)? If so, you have "show formatting" enabled, and you can disable it with the button that looks like a pilcrow. Instructions:
Use Ctrl+* (Ctrl+Shift+8) to toggle this display.
