Paragraph without new line
Hi,
Can I create a new paragraph without getting a new line. My purpose is that I'd like to have styles handle formatting so that if I hit Enter, I will get the next style, but not a new line. For example, I'd like to have: Topic: some descriptive stuff then some "see also" stuff. Topic: I'd want in one font, with some characteristics. The other two "sections" will have their own characteristics. Then I'll do another entry, and so on. I'd appreciate any help. Art |

Hi Art-
Even though what you are asking might be done with code, it really isn't the best solution... how would you start a new paragraph if Enter was reprogrammed? Also, you can't have two paras on the same line, but let's try another approach. You can define the two styles you want to use for formatting, then create a 2-column table. Select the first column and apply "Style A", then select the second column and apply "Style B". Use the Tab key to move from cell to cell, and each will be formatted as you type. If you don't want the cell borders to show, go to TableSelect Table, then FormatBorders and Shading to select None. HTH |:) "Art" wrote: Hi, Can I create a new paragraph without getting a new line.

There is no way to do what you ask, but there is a way to accomplish what

Thanks -- but I don't think that will help. I don't know the width (in
advance) of any of this stuff. I also don't want to re-program Enter. I was hoping that I could have 2 paragraphs on the same line (assuming that styles must apply to entire paragraphs). I do appreciate your taking the time to address my problem.

Suzanne,
Intriguing. I'll have to spend a little time tinkering. Thanks! Art "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: There is no way to do what you ask, but there is a way to accomplish what you're attempting.

Most welcome, but re I don't know the width..., the cell widths of tables
are fully adjustable at any time. Good Luck |:) "Art" wrote: Thanks -- but I don't think that will help. I don't know the width (in advance) of any of this stuff.

You can have two styles on the same line, but not two paragraphs (other than
in a table). However you cannot switch between two styles within the same paragraph using the enter key. You would have to deploy a keyboard shortcut or two to apply them. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Art wrote: Thanks -- but I don't think that will help.
