overtype
I am working in a downloaded document that has numbered questions with blank
lines below the question for entering the answer. In both Overtype and Insert mode when I hit the spacebar it jumps my typed text up to the end of the question. Any idea how I can just replace the blank line without this happening? |

It sounds like the person who created the document didn't separate the question from the line with anything but a space character, counting on the length of the line (underscore characters?) to force it to wrap. By typing an answer that includes a space, you give Word something shorter to place on the last line of the answer. Knowing this, you can prepare the document for your answers by entering a line break (Shift+Enter) at the end of the last line of each question. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |
