If I remember correctly the /par code is a code used in rich text
format(rtf) files to indicate a paragraph. The text you are copying from
Ancestry may be in rtf format.
Try pasting the text into Notepad first (that should get rid of any
special codes and convert the copy to plain text). You can then copy and
paste from Notepad into Legacy and you should not get those /par codes.

So sorry, sure I'm posting this in the wrong place. PLEASE, someone tell
me what "/par" means and how to get rid of it. (will not let me tpye
slash the other way). I copy all the census pages to the individual
notes for each person, then it's with me in my search, but all of a
sudden this symbol is in front of every line. I'm forced to manually
delete it or go back into ancestry.com and re-copy the census page. I
have so many many records in my Legacy file, 80,000 plus, it has been a
nightmare.
Thank you,

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Split Screen View, Drag and Drop all in File,
adding visible \par to text
Jay,
I can't reproduce this. After trying I noticed you were showing some
form of a PP report. So tried copying and pasting from the PDF.
After Split Screen drag and drop I'm getting a non-printing character of
some sort that looks like a narrow box. It doesn't appear to affect output.
Perhaps you are pasting some other hidden character?

This happened in the past to sources.

\par Birth of first child is later than normal after
Marriage Date of Parents. Verify the birth and marriage dates. There
might be a child missing.
