It may be handy in a few cases, mostly throwaway documents that you'll print
once and then discard. The experts consider it abominable because it uses a
ton of empty paragraph marks to set the vertical position on the page. In
any document that will be saved and edited again, that's a recipe for
trouble. We also find it objectionable that it's turned on by default in a
new installation, probably in the hope of making it "discoverable" for new
users (when, frankly, we wish it wasn't discoverable at all).

I'm using Word 2002. How do I place the cursor below a line of text
using the mouse pointer? Thanks for you help.
Curious: Why do you see that as abominable? I find it pretty handy
in a few different cases.
