#How to get rid of line break microsoft word symbols full#
We normally try for a whole word down (and a few publishers want a full word down, but will allow it to be hyphenated if it’s a very long word).ġ) We always require a minimum of two text lines at the top of the page. However, if it’s more than 4 characters (excluding punctuation), then it’s fine. And an orphan as the last word of a paragraph on it’s own line. I always refer to widows as the last line of a paragraph at the top of the page. Like i said i am experimenting to try and lessen this from happening, but i wondered if i could draw on your expertise and experience to see what your opinion is about this. I was under the impression that you shouldn’t leave them on their own and either use a line break to put the line of text on the bottom of the page onto the next page, or use the line break to put the previous line at the bottom of the page on to the top of the next page.īut this means that on quite a few pages the bottom of the page is uneven, either one line short on one side or the other, like in this image: And I gather from this article: that this is a contentious issue.
Thankfully i don’t seem to be in the bad habits that you have mentioned, phew!īut having looked into this a little issue more i’m not sure i’m using the right terminology, i think widows and orphans is close but what i’m talking about is not so much the odd word, but a whole line of text of a new paragraph at the bottom of the page, or a whole line of text at the end of a paragraph on it’s own at the top of a page. It didn’t know this was such a problem for some folks, this thread is particularly interesting: Thank you Anne-Marie and Dwayne for your invaluable advice as usual. We use the “no break” feature and actually use a character style that only does that. You’d be amazed at what you can do.Īt our company we try to avoid soft returns whenever possible.
I know it sounds weird–but you can do a lot of stuff with searching and replacing by using a color in the search and find replace fields. Then I search and replace a red soft return with a space and back to black. Then I search on the hyphen + soft return and waste an hour or so determing if it’s a real had hyphen or if it should be removed. Then, I search for any letter + soft return, and replace with a color not used in the job (let’s say “red” for this example).
I always search for space + soft return and replace with a space. When that happens–you’re pretty much screwed as you can’t automatically fix those. At our company we always keep the space in there and put the soft return AFTER the space to avoid these issues.Īnd it’s even more complicated when they use a soft return after a hard hyphen. When I mouse over it, the mouse cursor indicates a horizontal line symbol, but when I try to click-drag to move it, it does not move.Īny help to delete this line would be greatly appreciated.I gotta admit it drives me crazy when folks delete the space between words and put in the soft return.

Highlighted all paragraph code symbols from end of the paragraph above through the beginning of the paragraph below, hit delete, and it jumps to below the bottom paragraph.Ĥ. Tried to insert 'page breaks' before and after it with the thought to then delete the page, however when I try to insert the page break before it, it simply jumps above the page break.ģ. Can not delete this line by highlighting before, through and after it, and hitting 'delete'.Ģ. What I have tried so far after turning on Show/Hide to see what was happening.ġ.
