Hi Kelly. Somehow I didn't get your message yesterday. How do you write a hrd
line break? Carriage return didn't work. Thanks.

Hi Cheryl,
Part of the message I sent out yesterday about getting rid of undesirable
line breaks covered undesirable hyphens too. What you do is look at the book
and see how things usually are in it--is there a space between the hyphen and
line break, or between the line break and the second half of the word? After
you check that out, you can do an f and r accordingly, using a string such as
dash, space, paragraph mark, or dash, paragraph mark, space etc.
I don't know any programming either, nor do I ever want to. <grin> The neat
thing about Word macros is you need exactly 0 programming knowledge,
experience, or talent. I had this idea for years that writing a macro in Word
would be so difficult it wasn't even worth trying, but it turned out to be
wonderfully simple. You start recording, and then you just actually perform the
options you want in the macro. Of course, you want to limit extra things, so it
would be good to think through, and maybe write down, in advance exactly what
you want your macro to do.
Hth,
Kellie
