Thanks for the suggestion as to how to eliminate the
end-of-line paragraph markers and still retain
paragraphs in the whole document. That sounds easy.
My Mac version of microsoft Word is a little different
in that shift/enter is how I make pge breaks. I'm glad
to know that I don't have to eliminate the manual line
breaks unless I'm shortening the margins, thus
extending the lines, which I sometimes ahve to do to
get the pages to come out right. smile
