I wonder who the brain dead person was that implemented this utterly stupid "feature"?
I highlight one line. I do something to it. (Centering it). But it formats several lines below it as well. I didn't highlight those lines. Why are they affected? To think the software maker actually got paid to do something like this is just beyond comprehension. Why does Microsoft try to think for its customers? Are their customers really so incapable of making decisions themselves? Please: NO Microsoft links. They are utterly useless, written by people devoid of English communication skills. There's got to be an easy solution to this. Under Options I disabled whatever I could find that could be connected to this. I am not very knowledgeable in Word I admit. I just expect logic from software though.
I should mention that I always use Shift_Enter when working with text like this.
