Default formatting after carriage return?
When you hit the carriage return key at the end of a paragraph Word carries
over the existing formatting to the new line/paragraph. Great, usually! I think there is a key sequence which allows you to hit carriage return (soft carriage return?) and start the new line/paragraph with the default document formatting. Can anyone confirm this and tell me what it is. I cannot find a reference to it anywhere, now. Thanks, Steve. |

Default formatting after carriage return?
Each paragraph has a style attribute which includes the name of the style
that should follow it (when you press Enter). Usually this is set to the same style (though with heading styles it is often the main body text). The behaviour therefore is dictated by the style at the cursor. You can additionally press SHIFT+Enter which will create a line break WITHIN the same paragraph. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Steevo999 wrote: When you hit the carriage return key at the end of a paragraph Word carries over the existing formatting to the new line/paragraph.

Thanks for your quick response, Graham.
However this does not achieve the effect I am after. If I am typing in bold etc. etc. at the end of a line and then hit Carriage Return then the same formatting continues on the new line until manually deselected. A little tedious sometimes. I thought there was a way of hitting Carriage Return with some other key combination that prevented this and reverted the new paragraph to the default page formatting...

Default formatting after carriage return?
Ctrl+Spacebar removes all direct font formatting. In earlier versions of
Word, pressing Enter did end direct font formatting; in current versions, it doesn't, and many users find this unsatisfactory. -- Suzanne S.

If you are using manual formatting CTRL+Space will restore the underlying
paragraph style. You may also have a keyboard shortcut assigned to the normal style. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Steevo999 wrote: Thanks for your quick response, Graham.

Default formatting after carriage return?
At last!
I have been searching for this for ages. It must be about the only key combo I have not tried, because it does not involve the Carriage Return key! THANK YOU. Steve, (Farnborough, England).
