I have Microsoft Word 2003.  Everytime I open up a new document, an image 
appears in the upper left hand corner of the page.  It looks like a bold, 
reversed, duoble lined P symbol.  According to the SYMBOL Drop Down Menu it 
says the following:  Pilcrow Sign - Character Code: 00B6 - From: Unicode 
(HEX) - Short Cut Key:  ALT+0182.

How do I permanently get rid of this symbol.  Thanks for your help.

It is a paragraph end marker. Click the matching button on the Standard 
Toolbar or Press CTRL+Shift+8 to toggle the display.
If it remains when you do that : Tools > Options > View and uncheck all the 
choices under 'formatting marks' and in particular 'Paragraph Marks'.
