MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Deleting a paragraph mark in a document will cause the text above the deleted paragraph mark to assume the line spacing, indents, and other formatting of the next paragraph.

For example, if all the paragraphs are “normal” paragraphs except for one, which is double-spaced and indented, then deleting the paragraph mark at the end of the double-spaced paragraph will cause it to return to the default paragraph formatting (that is, it will become a normal paragraph).

Note: When ENTER is pressed at the end of a paragraph, a CR/LF combination is formatted into the text. When Options Show All Characters is selected, Works displays the CR/LF combination with the IBM character whose ASCII value is 20 (a decimal value), which is the paragraph mark. When you use “^p” to search for paragraph marks, you’re looking for the true CR/LF combination, not the ASCII 20 character.
