Problem with Pages: Highlighted text

What causes this? I'm trying to highlight the entire paragraph. This only happens on the last paragraph of a Pages text document

cursor position jumps up the page when highlighting Since updating MacOS to 12.3, I've encountered a repeated problem using the highlighting feature. When I highlight a selection of text, the cursor position on the page suddenly jumps up to the top of the page, or nearer to the top of the page. I then have to mouse-click my way back down the page to where I was. Very annoying behavior! Especially noticeable in highlighting text in Evernote (all the way to the top of the page) and Pocket (up a screen at a time). This behavior new to MacOS 12.3. Has anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions for how to fix? Thanks. Mike

paragraph marks will not disappear in Word Greetings knowledgeable people, I cannot make the paragraph marks (pilcrow) disappear in my word documents. I am well versed in using the hide/show button for these marks in the standard Home ribbon. Clicking the button does nothing to the visibility of the marks (see below) when it always has before. Closing and restarting does not change anything. OS Catalina on a networked macbook, using MS Word in Office 365 All help appreciated . .

Double-click on the word Francisco to select it. Press and hold the shift-key, and then click behind the ending double-quote. Everything will be selected that you have shown above. A simple click at the beginning of Francisco, and continuous drag down to the trailing double-quote would achieve the full selection too.
