Try pressing Ctrl+Z immediately after the
asterisks change shape. Ctrl+Z undoes the
last thing done.

Also go to Tools / Autocorrect options /
AutoFormat as you type / remove check from
Border lines.

Hope this helps.

When I separate sections of text I type a
row of asterisks which then change length
& shape after I press CR.

Is there any way to turn this off?

Please help, Frank
