Shift + Enter vs. just Enter in Word
When I'm in Word 2003, and I use regular carriage returns, that is, just
by pressing Enter, it looks okay in word but if I cut & paste into Outlook Express 6, as with a newsgroup posting, I get extra blank lines. I can use Shift + Enter in Word and the formatting passes to OE properly. So what is the actual difference between using just Enter and using Shift+Enter? And (I've asked this before) is it possible to setup Word so that it formats in a way so that if you C&P to OE, it won't add extra lines? -- ********************* * Nehmo Sergheyev * ********************* |

Enter inserts and End-of-Paragraph character ¶ while shift enter just moves
the cursor to the beginning of a new line (it does inset a new line character. The reason that you get the different appearance is because differences in the way paragraphs are formatted by the two applications. -- Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested.

Shift + Enter vs. just Enter in Word
Another way to look at this is to think of it in terms of HTML formatting,
which is probably the format Word is converting your email to when it sends it Outlook. In HTML format Enter generates a p paragraph break which ends any paragraph formatting and inserts a blank line following the paragraph. Shift-Enter generates a br line break, this moves to the next line but keeps any paragraph formatting. "Nehmo Sergheyev" wrote in message ...
