Line Breaks in Emails
Hello Group I have just sent an email to a company with my mailing address so they can send me some goods. I tried to single space the address but every time I hit 'enter' and start typing the text all flows back into one line, it's just happened here - I hit 'return' after I typed 'goods.' and as soon as I started typing again it all flowed back into one paragraph. Is there a way round this annoying behaviour please? -- Jeff Gaines Damerham Hampshire UK :Jeff_Gaines: Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Is there a way round this annoying behaviour please? Yes. You need to toggle off auto-format by hitting Shift+Ctrl+F, toggling the little status bar button (second one from the far left) or via the 'Utilities' menu. You don't really have to use auto-format if it often get's in your way. I don't. I just use Alt-L as needed to reflow text as I type. Alt-L works on the paragraph that the caret is in without having to actually select the text. So while typing, I just hit Alt-L when needed (usually after inserting text somewhere in already wrapped parts). If you don't like doing this, then you can toggle auto-format on and off as needed. -- Cheers, -= Allie =- . Things working well, no problems.
