Creates Lines I Don't Want

[abrogard]

It is going to drive me mad this prog.

Recreating a photocopied document I find I need a list of chapters with a solid line beneath each entry.

I look up how to do it and find three '-' in a row and press enter does it.

Wonderful. So I do that.

Then I need to space out the entries a bit so I do a carriage return to create a blank space, blank line - and the thing draws another line across the page!

And every time I do a carriage return it makes another!

And I can delete them but it deletes the blank line, too, so the text closes up again!

What madness! How to deal with this? How to create lines across the page wherever you want - i.e. in this case between lines of text - without all this superfluous automatic creation of lines you never asked for?

Thanks to the excellent 'undo' feature I've gone back to prior to all this and will proceed with other parts of the doc - the tables, maybe, until I get wised up on this feature.

phew.....

p.s. also, while I was doing it, I found that doing a carriage return at the end of the line and THEN doing the '---' trick created a new blank line as well as a solid line - so then I had to delete that blank line - upon which the solid line disappeared, too. So I had to do it at the beginning of the line... and so on... I mean... what's the 'proper' way to do it in the first place, before we get to the problem of automatic creation of unwanted?
