How to make ENTER to be LF and not html paragraph

[J]

Tuesday Eve

What do I need to change in Word 2007 to use ENTER to enter a LineFeed and
not an HTML paragraph?

When I paste a notepad file into a word doc I want the lines to NOT be
separated.

Shift+Enter will insert a line break.

Thank you for your response.

Ja, been doing web stuff for nearly 15 years. I am tired of it.

At this time I am interested in changing the default from HTML coding to the
way it used to be, Document coding.

Is this possible?

I'm not really clear on what you're asking, but here are three guesses at
things that might help:

1. If "paragraphs" are separated by two line breaks instead of a paragraph
break, you can replace ^l^l with ^p to change that.

2. If the paragraph ends in a paragraph break and has Spacing After set to
more than 0, you can change that.

3. It's possible that the Compatibility Option regarding HTML paragraph
spacing is relevant.

Thank you for your response.

I'm not really clear on what you're asking,

I want word 2007 to behave as OL 2007 (and windows mail) does; pressing
enter moves to the next line, without an empty, non-usable, "line." I have
tried a bunch of changes. No joy. I do not want to have to press shift to
get this done each time.

Thank you for these tips

3. It's possible that the Compatibility Option regarding HTML paragraph
spacing is relevant.

This made no difference change.

This change was probably made by the same people who think the ribbon is an
improvement. At least it is consistant with Vista: what used to be 1 or 2
clicks in XP and 2003 is now 2 and 3 clicks. Wasted time.


And the lack of context search in a new window? Who are the people who let
this happen?

These are the things I have attempting to avoid forever by not using Apple
products.

Oh, the Humanity!

Thanks

Thank you.

Oh, you want the default spacing for the normal style changed back to
W2003.
TNR 12 with no space before or after?

Home ribbon > Styles group > Change styles icon > Style set > Word 2003.
This will change the defaults in the current document. After that, you
can
change normal.dotm: Styles group arrow > Styles pane > Manage styles
button > Defaults tab. Check that the settings are what you want and
click
the radio button for New documents based o this template.
