Re: How do you make return, return only 1 line and future speed improvements?

Well, that isn't really the case here:-) MS didn't make the standard - it's been established in the typesetting industry since a guy by the name of J. Gutenburg. It's just that MS finally decided to implement what many believe *should* have been the norm since the introduction of scalable fonts on personal computers.

Welllll, actually it isn't returning two lines:-) It's inserting Space After
- 10 points to be exact - as a paragraph formatting attribute. It doesn't
happen on Shift+Return because that keystroke creates a line break *not* a
paragraph break. Technically speaking, Space Before & Space After is the
preferred way to adjust spacing between paragraphs rather than banging on
the return key a second time - it's just that MS finally decided it was
about time to implement it as the default... Unfortunately they didn't see
fit to provide any outfight, obvious notification of what's going on:-)

Well, that is the MS way, innit? Though I do admire their software more
than a lot of people, I *don't* admire the way they assume and impose
the "we-know-best" formula.

This has proved to be the least understood and most disliked
"improvement" to Word, and although it is fixable by following the steps
you outline, it realy should be a whole lot easier to get at and
implement. I'm quite sure MS has received a lot of feedback on this -- maybe they'll get the message.
