Field Codes

[Kenneth]

If you have chosen "show field codes" Word will display a symbol at the end of the line. If you press Shift+Return it will display a different symbol. Does anyone know if there is a meaning with this difference

Thnx

SHIFT+ENTER (or RETURN) is called a soft return. basically this makes a new
line but keeps that new line as part of the same paragraph as the line(s)
above. For example, if you have a Style that you use that has 6 Point
spacing before and after in order to get double-spacing and you hit ENTER at
the end of your paragraph, it will give you that spacing and start a new
paragraph. However, if you press SHIFT+ENTER it will move you to the next
line without the spacing since it is still part of the same paragraph.

Hope this helps!

Actually, a "soft return" is one that Word inserts as part of its natural
word wrapping. Shift+Enter inserts a "line break." For more on nonprinting
