I’ve attached a document that apparently has a defective hard carriage return. I come across these defective returns every so often and just wonder if other people do too.
The bad return is at the end of the first paragraph.
Note that if you try to apply a Heading 1, 2, etc. style to the second paragraph, it gets applied to the first paragraph.
Also note that you can put your cursor on the right side of that carriage return in the first paragraph, which is something that normal returns won’t let you do. To do that, put your cursor somewhere in the last line of the paragraph and hit the End key.
Also note that with your cursor anywhere above the second paragraph, if you hit Ctrl-DownArrow, you won’t land on the second paragraph–Word bypasses it. Somehow that defective return isn’t full-fledged enough to indicate a legitimate end to the paragraph.
What do you think?
