hello everyone. i was wondering about the paragraph breaks instructions that someone had sent out to the list yesterday. and I was wondering where about could I receve them? so I can add them into my instructions manual that I already have. and I was wondering why those steps weren't listed in the reference manual that I have. and can someone please tell me how I would do the line breaks part? because there is a step in the manual that I have that says remove all line breaks or paragraph markers. and I really don't understand how to do that particular part. would someone please be willing to explain those 2 things to me? if so I would grately appreciate this. thank you.
