------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Nov 9 10:52:50 +0000 2007 ------- Barry - yes I can easily believe it's been around longer than that. I guess it was an aberration of the original code that's just never had the priority to get sorted out. I wonder what would have happened if they'd done the same thing to the letter 's' as they do to space? So every time you tried to write 'impress' at the end of a line it started swallowing the 's's. That would have been regarded as a real bug and certainly been fixed; quite why spaces are treated as second class citizens I've no idea. I gather from what you're saying that you lay out your letters by adding a carriage return at the end of each line? This is not the way to use a word processor. It is designed for continuous text input - hard carriage returns are only used to separate paragraphs, not lines. If you are doing this I suggest you find someone with good experience of using a word processor to introduce you to the basics. Alternatively, there are lots of texts on the net eg http://www.compusmart.ab.ca/alummis/beginnerword/index.htm or http://www.aarp.org/learntech/computers/howto/a2003-07-21-howtousewordprocessor.html that will explain it. In the meanwhile, believe me, Microsoft Word does nothing special with spaces at start or end of line, and works beautifully. As should OpenOffice. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
