Summary:

When a Microsoft Word for the Macintosh file is saved as Text Only With Line Breaks, line breaks are inserted at the end of each line. After closing and reopening the document, the Save As dialog box indicates that the file is now defined as Text Only, not Text Only With Line Breaks. However, the line breaks inserted during the first save are still preserved.

By definition, a text file can have no special formatting. Because of this, Word must interpret the file as a text file and does not have any indication of the presence of line breaks at the end of each line.
