When a paragraph mark is included in an AutoText entry, a whole paragraph will be added by the AutoText, and the insertion point goes to the next paragraph.



Instead, what you have to do is recreate the AutoText entry and be sure to exclude the paragraph when you create it. In the Create New Building Block dialog box, select "Insert content in its own paragraph." This will create an entry which preserves paragraph formatting without moving the insertion point to the next paragraph as you insert it.
