[stylist] Word 2010 question

[Brad Dunsé]

Okay folks. I encountered something unknown to me today which is kind 
of troubling and frustrating. Evidently when entering a hard carriage 
return in Word 2010, it is putting an entire line between the text 
you just left and the new text you are typing. If I'd wanted double 
spacing I'd have hit the carriage return twice. I've looked at the 
line spacing and set it to 1 but to no avail. Here's the thing, Jaws 
does not even see the space when you navigate up and down the 
document. It appears as one paragraph. I knew something was up when I 
bought this new computer a while back and tried to CTRL Up Arrow 
through my documents and it would never go past the current paragraph 
without first just arrowing past it.

To my knowledge I've not changed any out of the box setting. The sad 
thing is, everything I've written on this machine is likely this way. 
I wish Microsoft would stick to software and get out  of the business 
of imposing their assumptions. Any help is appreciated.
