Hello-
This is a forwarded message, so please respond to the list so the
subscriber can view the responses to the question. Thank you in advance!
OK, here's an interesting one. I've done some looking in the archives
and find nothing that's exactly what I want. I'm wondering if anyone
has heard about using the "shift + enter" option to reduce the number
of paragraph marks appearing in a document. I can find all kinds of
information telling me that I shouldn't have paragraph marks with no
attached text, but nothing that tells me what happens if I do have
them. So what does happen? I know that corruption is often stored in
paragraph marks, but everything I find talks about that occuring in
the final paragraph mark of a document. Can anyone shed some light on
this? I get the digest version, so if I don't respond immediately,
please accept my apologies.
