There is a ASCII character 30 before every newline (ASCII 10). And ++ the end of a paragraph has no ASCII 30 before the newline. ++ Mark Lehmann << If you type carriage return, that marks the end of the paragraph. Just type << in your text without hitting carriage return and let Word Writer break the << lines for you. << Michael Fischer | Thank you for your help. I have a 2 part solution that can be implemented within Word Writer. 1. Use the Word Write substitue command to replace ASCII blanks with ASCII character 30. ASCII blanks can be created using the space bar. ASCII character 30 can be created using the 3 keys control shift 6. 2. Use the space bar to add a blank to the end of each line to be reformated. This will put an ASCII charater 30 at the end of those lines. It might be possible to do this by using the Word Writter substitute command to replace control L with control L control shift 6. Explanation: After I loaded a Word Writer doc file into micro-emacs, I notice the formatable paragraphs had ^^ instead of blanks and also had a ^^ at the end of each line. Shitf 6 is ^. Control ^ creates an ASCII character 30. In micro-emacs, control shift 6 appears as ^^. The rest is history. Gregory Gibson
