Default Cursor Stuck Inside Paragraph Border

Helllo Members,

I put a border around a paragraph in my document to make it stand out,
The border looks very nice, only the problem is, I cannot move the
"Cursor" out of the Bordered paragraph now. It is stuck inside the
paragraph border. I simply want to continue typing my next paragraph
"below" this one, but I can't move my cursor. Can someone help.
Thankyou, Ric

Default Cursor Stuck Inside Paragraph Border

Blue dolphin,
Press enter at the end of the paragraph to start a new paragraph, then press
CTRL+Q, that should remove the border only on the second paragraph.
Or better still, first press enter after the paragraph you want a border
applied to, return to the paragraph by clicking in it and then apply your
border.

Default Cursor Stuck Inside Paragraph Border


I have a suggestion. Rather than use the paragraph border function, I
recommend trying a one-celled table instead and put a border around the
table. It will be much easier to manage. For simplicity's sake, try this
as follows:

1. Insert three blank lines where you want the paragraph to go by hitting
return.
2. Position the cursor on the middle line in between two blank lines.
3. go to INSERT TABLE and select a 1x1 table.
4. Right click on the little [+] handle that appears on the table and go to
"Table Properties"
5. Set the text alignment to "NONE"
6. Paste or type your paragraph into the table
