The
Case of the Separated Date
Don't you hate it
when MS Word takes a date in your document (such as August 3, 2007) and
breaks it on two separate lines? I especially dislike seeing "August"
at the end of one line, then "3, 2007" at the beginning of the
next.
Ever wonder how you
could easily fix that mess, without starting a brand new paragraph?
Well, you're not alone
and here's the solution you've been waiting for.
What we need to know
about is something called a manual line break, which we can insert with
a simple Shift + Enter.
All you have to do
is place your cursor before the date (where you want
to insert the manual line break), hit the Shift + Enter
keys and Word will then do the rest.
You'll find that your
date is no longer separated on two lines, while at the same time, you've
managed to stop it from creating a new paragraph.
If only all our Office
issues could be solved so easily!
