Word 2007 Paragraphs

G'Day All,

I need some feedback as to whether other users are experiencing a change
in behaviour of Word 2007.

In previous versions of Word, it was not possible to position the insertion
point to the RIGHT of a paragraph marker.

If one positioned the IP just before a ParaMarker and pressed the right
arrow key, the IP jumped to the start of the next paragraph (i.e. just in front
of the first letter).

In Word 2007 pressing the right arrow key moves the IP to just after the
ParaMarker, and a second press moves it to the start of the next paragraph.

Furthermore, if one saves a WD2007 document as a .doc, previous versions
of Word then exhibit the same behaviour - but only for those documents
saved as .doc in WD2007.
 
This sounds like a bug to me--too weird.

Hi Suzanne,

It is weird and, for example, impacts the behaviour of the down arrow.

As an example, I refer to 'short' paragraphs less than one line.

Previously, using down-arrow from the end of a long(er) line positioned
the IP before the ParaMarker of the next (shorter) line, and typing was
inserted at the end of that line.

Now the IP first goes after the ParaMarker, and typing is inserted at the
beginning of the following line.
 
Hi Pat,

I can't reproduce that behavior. In my 2007 installation, the cursor
behaves exactly as it has in all previous versions.

Does this happen for you in all files, and especially new documents
created from Normal.dotx? If so, what happens if you rename
Normal.dotx and let Word recreate it?
