[gui-talk] Word saying "new line" during writing and editing

If you wanted to replace returns with a space, perform a Replace (CTRL+H).
In the Find What edit field, type "^p" (without the quotes; that's the
caret, SHIFT+6, followed by a lowercase p), and in the Replace With box,
type a space, then choose Replace All or whatever option you'd like. If you
were searching for instances of multiple, consecutive hard returns, just
type as many consecutive ^p sequences as you want to search for in the Find
What edit field.

HTH,
Maria

Maria,

Thanks for all that. The truth is, I just didn't need this new feature, and 
maybe I should simply uncheck it in that group of three items. When I've 
opened a .txt file in Word with the intention of cleaning it up for Word. 
I've always just sought out the end of line characters by pressing control 
down arrow or control up arrow to move from what Word sees as paragraph 
beginnings and endings, and just backspacing or doing whatever works to 
delete them and make the text seamless. I just didn't anticipate hearing 
Jaws tell me about these things, which I've always discovered and dealt with

myself.

But it would be handy to know the code to use as the search term for finding

and replacing those marks with a space, which I've been doing manually.

Oh, FS. What notions you get. Personally, I wish they'd included fewer such 
bells and whistles in Jaws 9 and instead fixed the welter of bugs I'm having

to deal with, without any help from tech support on nearly every such issue.

Thanks again.
