Placing a carriage return at the end of every line.
Hi
I wish to place a story on a site on the web which I have written in word. However the site I am publishing the story on requires that the story be limited to 68 characters per line with a line break at the end of every line. Restricting the number of characters to each line is easy but, is there an easy way of placing a return at the end of every line without having tio do this manually? The story is several hundred lines long! Any help would be appreciated Wombat |

Use a monospaced font, adjust the margins to allow the set number of
characters, and save the file as .txt. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne
Where would we be without you. Have tried as you sugested, adjusted margins, used Times New Roman and saved as a .txt file, however when I open it up in text it is only limited by the window size and in Word there are no paragraph marks at the end of each line. Am I missing something here? What are monospaced fonts? -- Eats, roots and leaves. "Suzanne S.

Well, first of all, TNR is not a monospaced font. Try Courier. You need to
save as Text with Line Breaks. In Word 2003 (and undoubtedly some previous versions--at least 2002), if you select Plain Text, you get a dialog that allows you various choices. One of them is a check box for "Insert line breaks" with a choice of what kind of breaks to insert. I have not tried this, so have no idea what the effect of the various options would be, but you could experiment. If you have an earlier version that actually offers a Save As file type of "text with line breaks," then use that. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne
That's cracked it, excellent. Interestingly if one is aiming for a line character spacing of 68 , you have to adjust the margins to get a word count of 67, as the line breaks count for an extra charcter if you choose CR, as this character is not be included.
