Default soft line break

Hi All,

Is there any difference in the two ways a soft line break is inserted:
one, by using shift+enter, and two, by InsertBreakText Wrapping
Break? The symbols show up slightly differently when Show/Hide is
used.

Thanks

A text wrapping break is not the same thing as a manual line break
(Shift+Enter), although you'll see different behavior only if there's a picture
or table with the text wrapped around it.

According to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255521:

~~~~~~
A text wrapping break ends the current line and forces the text to continue
below a picture, table, or other item. The text continues on the next blank line
that doesn't contain a picture or table aligned with the left or right margin.

NOTE: A text wrapping break is designed for use with a Web page; however, you
can use it in a normal Word document as well.
