<<Or what does this line break does anyway?>>

Basically it's this.....Word attaches styles based on
paragraphs...whenever you hit Enter, Word sees this as starting a new
paragraph so it doesn't keep the same paragraph styling associated with
the first paragraph.  However, when you use shift+enter, this tells Word
you want to drop to the next line but NOT have a paragraph break, so you
CAN maintain the same styling.

Like I said...that's in a nutshell....I'm sure Dian can give you a much
better explanation than me

And no, Thomas, it isn't dumb of you to ask at all.....it's one of the
things that is hardest to understand about Word, but very necessary to
understand if you want Word to behave properly

Take it away, Dian.....

But the weird thing is, when I'm using  the school system, it does work
but of course the office is 2000 instead of XP which I have.
It does remove the formatting away and use the default format. I know
the hotkeys for bold, italics and so on but just find it weird when this
line break hotkey works in my school but not on my system.
So at this stage after so much clarifications, that line break will work
in style and not in format?? Or what does this line break does anyway?
Visually which I can't see well enough to determine...

Hope its not dump enough to ask though.
