Hi, Tessa, Maybe I should do this another way to do what I need. Maybe I should try to add a space at the end of the previous line rather than doing it at the start of the line.
Sometimes a document has a line which ends on the last cell. Perhaps I had left out a word at that point and it must be inserted at the start of the next line. However there's the start of a word at the start, so I need to add a space and the omitted word and of course, another space before the original word which was at the beginning of the line. It's almost impossible to add a space at the end because the last letter of a word is in the last cell. There's no place to add the space there. Brother! This is hard to describe so I'd better quit while we're all ahead. Raul could not reproduce my problem, but I hoped someone else had the same problem. The odd thing ist I can occasionally add the space at the start of a line, but most of the time I cannot. Looks like I will just have to live with this. I know it's quirky. Thanks to all for your thoughts.
