Ah, wonderful Emacs style commands. Control Q says quote the next character. Generally, control-L in old emacs systems would re-paint the screen with TextEdit that shouldn't be needed, so perhaps if it is defined to do a re-paint then we can just drop that function and a control-L would then work a

Hi, David's solution still works: control+q followed by control+l. Also, alternatively, you can go to edit/insert/page break and get it this way. The insert submenu under edit also has insert line option. Andrew > On 10 Apr 2017, at 22:44, Linda wrote: > > I researched but can't find the an
