No, the existing crs are there, but the enter key doesn't do anything.

Thanks.

Taking your description of the problem quite literally, if you don't have
any carriage returns in a document all the text will run on line after
line without a break. Is this what you have?

Have you done a global find and replace including ^p (which Word
recognises as a carriage return) and just eliminated them?

Sorry to answer your question with more questions.

I just loaded up a document and discovered it will no longer recognise
carriage returns!

All other programmes are working normally. All other documents in Word
(2002) are working normally. How do I get them back please???
