I have used Word 2000 intensively for years. If I was writing a bibliography
or taking notes, then I could insert Paragraph marks between text to keep
things clear (I hit Enter twice at end. Yes, MVP's, I know that's "caveman
style;" but, it worked). I had no problem highlighting and moving text with
the paragraph marks in-between, either within a document or between two
documents.
Now, with 2007 there are 10 (invisible) spaces added when one hits Enter for
a new paragraph or line of text. This is really screwing me up: *NOW*, if I
try to highlight and move chunks of text with the paragraph marks/10-points
at the end, Word removes the spaces between the paragraphs, giving me a big
mess of unseparated text (which, of course, I then have to go through and hit
Enter again between the text I want clearly separated).
Someone told me to go Office Button > Styles > No Spacing. That's worked
sporadically for about a week. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't.
You know: Microsoft's programs are "intuitive"! ;-)
If I change a document's style to No Spacing, then it seems to work okay
within that doc. However, if I try to drag text from one document to another
-- even if they are BOTH No Spacing style, it will remove the 10-point
spacing from the highlighted, dragged text . . . and, I have another annoying
"text mess" on my hands.
As you can guess, my work has s- - l - - o - - w - - e - -d while trying to
get around 2007's unintuitive and problematic program. (Glitches in the
Scroll Bar, anyone?)
Is there some way to solve this without dumping 2007 altogether and
reinstalling my old Word 2000?
