Shift+Enter inserts a line break, which begins a new line without beginning
a new paragraph. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you. But what is it's purpose? Why and when would it be used instead of
just using ENTER? What are the pro's and con's of using one or the other? "Suzanne S.

SHIFT+ENTER
Well, you insert a paragraph break (Enter) when you want to start a new
paragraph. You have to do this if, for example, if you want to change styles or if you want another numbered or bulleted item. You insert a line break (Shift+Enter) when you want a new line but want it to be part of the same paragraph. This can sometimes be a shortcut to avoid defining a new style. For example, if the style you're currently using has some Space Before/After and you want to start a new line immediately below the current one (without the space between paragraphs), you could insert a line break. Or if the paragraph is numbered or bulleted and you want to insert a new line without a bullet or number, you can insert a line break. In both such cases, you'd be better off using a specific style without the Space Before/After or the bullet or number. A much better reason for using it is to keep a block of information together. For example, in an address list, you can type the name, insert a line break, type the street address, insert a line break, and then type the city, state, and ZIP and insert a paragraph break. This way you can have Space Before/After each address block, sort each paragraph as a unit, etc. Another example is a poem, in which each verse in a stanza ends in a line break and the stanza ends in a paragraph break. This allows you to apply Space Before/After to the stanza style to create space between stanzas but not between verses. This has the additional advantage that, if you want the verses to begin with a lowercase letter, the AutoCorrect option to capitalize the first letter of sentences won't automatically capitalize the first letter of each verse, which it would if you used a paragraph break (since the beginning of each verse would be the beginning of a paragraph). -- Suzanne S.

SHIFT+ENTER
Is there a way to customize this particular keyboard shortcut in Word 2007?
I'd like to use Shift-Enter for Insert New Row Below, but it won't accept that shortcut (Ctrl-Enter does work, however). InsertManualLineBreak doesn't appear available in the list of many Word commands for customizing keyboard shortcuts. Is there something I can do? "Suzanne S.

You need a macro for this. If you record yourself setting Ctrl+Enter as a
shortcut key, you will get something like this: CustomizationContext = NormalTemplate KeyBindings.Add KeyCode:=BuildKeyCode(wdKeyReturn, wdKeyControl), _ KeyCategory:=wdKeyCategoryCommand, Command:="TableInsertRowBelow" If you change "wdKeyControl" to "wdKeyShift" and run the macro it will do what you want. Once you have recorded the macro you can remove the Ctrl+Enter shortcut any time you like - it has served its purpose. -- Enjoy, Tony "instantrunoff" wrote in message ...

FWIW, you can add a new row below a given row in a table by placing the
insertion point just left of the end-of-row marker and pressing Enter. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "instantrunoff" wrote in message ...

Cheers, bbsvls arkose A feldspar-rich sandstone, typically coarse-grained and pink or reddish, that is composed of angular to subangular grains that may be either poorly or moderately well sorted; usually derived from the rapid disintegration of granite or granitic rocks, and often closely resembles granite; e.g., the Triassic arkoses of the Eastern United States. Quartz is usually the dominant mineral, with feldspar (chiefly microcline) constituting at least 25%. Cement (silica or calcite) is commonly rare, and matrix material (usually less than 15%) includes clay minerals (esp. kaolinite), mica, and iron oxide; fine-grained rock fragments are often present. Arkose is commonly a current-deposited sandstone of continental origin, occurring as a thick, wedge-shaped mass of limited geographic extent (as in a fault trough or a rapidly subsiding basin); it may be strongly cross-bedded and associated with coarse granite-bearing conglomerate, and it may denote an environment of high relief and vigorous erosion of strongly uplifted granitic rocks in which the feldspar was not subjected to prolonged weathering or transport before burial. Arkose may also occur at the base of a sedimentary series as a thin blanketlike residuum derived from and resting on granitic rock. Etymol: French, probably from Greek archaios, ancient, primitive. Syn:arkosic Also see:subarkose. Also spelled arcose. AGI asbestos a. A commercial term applied to silicate minerals that separate readily into thin, strong fibers that are flexible, heat resistant, and chemically inert, thus making them suitable for uses (as in yarn, cloth, paper, paint, brake linings, tiles, insulation, cement, fillers, and filters) where incombustible, nonconducting, or chemically resistant material is required. Since the early 1970's, there have been serious enviromental concerns about the potential health hazards of asbestos products, which has resulted in strong enviromental regulations. b. Any asbestiform mineral of the serpentine group (chrysotile, best adapted for spinning and the principal variety in commerce) or amphibole group (esp. actinolite, anthophyllite, gedrite, cummingtonite, grunerite, riebeckite, and tremolite). c. A term strictly applied to asbestiform actinolite. Syn:asbestus; amianthus; earth flax; mountain flax; rock wool. |
