You should at least see the insertion point move to the beginning of a (possibly new) line, as you have inserted a paragraph break. But if the line was fairly full, this may not be easy to spot. If you really mean that nothing happens, your keyboard must be faulty or disconnected or switched off or suffering from low battery!

There is no "latest version": all versions have numbers. ... and found out that I when I click the non-printing character on the toolbar it doesn't activate. What's your evidence for this? Do you see no raised points where you have spaces? Do you not even see the pilcrow to indicate the end of a paragraph? The raised points to indicate individual space characters must be displayed using some character in the character set: this may be Unicode U+00B7 "Middle dot". Your seeing this relies on that character existing in whatever font you are using, of course. If you are using an obscure font, you may not see anything. For example, it does not appear in my Wingdings or Webdings fonts. It may be old-fashioned but I like to see exactly where I am when typing or revising a document. You can see where you are by the flashing insertion point - which may be a little difficult to spot if it coincides with a text boundary. (And I've a vague notion that it may be less visible than in some earlier versions of OpenOffice.) But the insertion point always shows, of course - without your needing to toggle on the display of non-printing characters. I trust this helps.

Non printing character on toolbar
I’ve just downloaded the latest version of Open Office and found out that I when I click the non-printing character on the toolbar it doesn’t activate. It may be old-fashioned but I like to see exactly where I am when typing or revising a document. How do I get it back? Thanks much.
