Only thing I see in Help is a reference to SmartArt graphic. http://www.google.com/search?q=word+...h+selection%22 http://www.google.com/search?q=word+...t+cursoring%22 Essentially, the paragraph selection option makes sure that when you select a paragraph, you also get its paragraph mark. Sometimes you do want this, sometimes you don't, and the reasons may seem a bit obscure. The biggest reason to include the paragraph mark is when you're about to apply a paragraph style, to ensure that you don't apply just the "linked" character style part of it. (Yes, I know that may sound like gibberish.) It would be better to learn to work with nonprinting characters, or at least paragraph marks, visible at all times, and just select the paragraph marks when it's necessary; leave the option turned off. Smart cursoring has to do with leaving the cursor in one place but using the arrow keys to move around the screen in another place. I consider it useless. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
