Show/Hide

All word processors are text based. Think of the old-fashioned electric typewriters. If you wanted your name  by the signature, you had to enter enough blank lines to get down to the bottom of the letter.

 

When you select Show/Hide, Word displays the formatting codes. Notice, each time you hit the Enter key on the keyboard, you have a new blank line. When you are working with Microsoft Word, the text is anchored to a line, just like a typewriter.

Click on the Show/Hide option

Delete the extra blank lines

 

There should be only one paragraph mark, or blank line, between the paragraphs. When you are done, you can turn off the Show/Hide option.
