I'm using Word 2002. How do I place the cursor below a line of text using
the mouse pointer? Thanks for you help.
the mouse pointer? Thanks for you help.
Suzanne said:You don't. The insertion point can't be where there is no text
(unless you enable the abominable "Click and type").
Jay said:It may be handy in a few cases, mostly throwaway documents that
you'll print once and then discard. The experts consider it
abominable because it uses a ton of empty paragraph marks to set the
vertical position on the page. In any document that will be saved and
edited again, that's a recipe for trouble. We also find it
objectionable that it's turned on by default in a new installation,
probably in the hope of making it "discoverable" for new users (when,
frankly, we wish it wasn't discoverable at all).
Huh. I respect your knowledge and have seen you around quite a bit, so I
know you know what you're talking about. I guess I expected something more
techie, honestly.
Mostly because all it does is create para marks down to the click point,
and a tab if it's not clicked at column 1. I find it fairly useful at
times, especially if I'm intentionally creating white space in a document.
Guess it's more a case of preferences. It certainly doesn't represent
any "recipe" for disaster that I can see! More lke a ymmv case, I guess.
No big dea.
By the way, there is no "we".
