Default Magically appearing hard returns

Hi RobertVA,

The br/ element is HTML's version of a "hard
return".

If we're going to be pedantic...

br is the Word equivalent of a "new line" (Shift+Return)

p is the equivalent of what in WordPerfect is referred to
as a "hard return". Word doesn't use that term, but it is
the equivalent of pressing ENTER, which is what a "hard
return" is in WP.

But I don't think anyone really disagrees with the core of what
you want to say: Word isn't the right tool for creating/editing
web pages.
