That's okay. You learn by experimenting. I'm amazed at how much I learn
each time I re read a section of the manual. However I have a theory
about the paragraph thing that I'll have to ask my mom about. I know
that when you right research papers that there are two lines between
paragraphs. I'm not sure if this is a standard rule when writing hand
written documents. I'll ask then let you know. If it turns out that
there are two spaces, then we're in the wrong and its not a bug.

Ah, Sarai

Now I have to admit I was wrong about that demo document.  Yup.  It had 
two manually inserted spaces at each paragraph point.

My excuse is that as I was so new with everything at that point, I 
didn't notice that.  LOL.  But I guess I learned a lot in exploring 
options in an attempt to fix a problem that wasn't there.

I'll still stand by the idea that paragraph boundary and formatting 
defined as new line should also indicate a paragraph, but maybe that 
would conflict with something else.  Lists?  I won't go there.

So, I'm off to wash the egg off my face.  Humanware can keep smiling at 
us when we're the problem.  Smile.

Jean
