Default Plain text help with returns - looking for marker to use when converting to plain text

Hi,



I am typing some information into Word and then copying and pasting into a program.
The program is convert to the text to plain text thus not holding my returns.

I'm currently putting in periods at each paragraph and then deleting the period out to get the end result I need. Is there possibly an invisible character I could type to place hold a return? A simple space is not working to hold the return but a period is. It just a pain to delete all those out.

Thanks,

Are you actually pressing the Enter key at the end of each line in Word? It is not surprising that your other software would not recognise automatic line wraps, for example.
