Bent arrow at end of line
On documents that I have copied I see a little right angle arrow. How do I
get this mark instead of a paragraph mark every time hit enter. I understand that the paragraph mark contains style info for that paragraph and you only want one at the end of the paragraph?

The right angle arrow indicates a line break. To insert such a break, press
Shift+Enter. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "jexie" wrote in message ... On documents that I have copied I see a little right angle arrow.

For more on nonprinting marks, see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/NonPrintChars.htm. By the way, if your goal is to make text lines shorter in some paragraphs, right (and/or left) indents are usually a better way than line breaks. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...

Thank you for the link. It was very helpful. The reason I need line breaks
is for variable length lines like in poems and song lyrics. "Stefan Blom" wrote: For more on nonprinting marks, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/NonPrintChars.htm.

OK, with poems and song lyrics it's quite all right to use line breaks. :-)
