Thanks for the response (thanks to everyone else also). Now you've hit on the issue that I really want to resolve. Why can't the developers add an extra option (checkbox) so that you don't have to press <enter> twice to start a new line? Why can't I start a new line by pressing it once? All it would be is a simple little option, and it takes nothing away from the other features, it just adds to it. When I asked for this as a support ticket, the answer I got was this: "Hello, I am sorry to say, but this is not a bug, it's a feature of MicroEd. Auto-Format works that way for years and we do not intend to change that..." I don't quite understand why they would refuse to add an option for this. Like I said, it doesn't take anything away. It just adds a little feature to get rid of the nuisance of pressing enter twice. Often times in an email, I have to make lists lik this: item1 item2 item3 But I can't do it without either turning auto-format off or pressing enter twice and then going back and deleting the extra lines. I mean, is it really a big deal to add that option? i don't want to turn off auto-format, because I want the wrapping to automatically adjust when I go back to edit a paragraph. It just doesn't seem reasonable to me to take such a stubborn stance with something so simple and helpful. It's not like I'm asking for a lot and i think it's a pretty practical issue. I don't feel it deserves a "That's just the way it is and we're not going to change it" attitude. My follow up response was this: "But couldn't there be an additional option added where we can have all the features of auto-format and reflowing, but also be able to press <enter> without it skipping back to the previous line? It wouldn't take anything away from anything else, it would only add a feature. please consider it. All it would have to be is another checkbox like, "Allow single carriage return"." Would anyone here support me in adding this feature? I need some backup. Again, remember, nothing would change, it will just be an additional option. ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.9.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
