Hello good evening
This return and carriage feed – or lack there of – is not peculiar to Apple, as my HP laptop running W10 suffers it. My desktop PC running W7 doesn't. I've given up.
So if I reach the end of a paragraph with my laptop, then press return. the cursor goes in front of the first character on the page. I then use the cursor down key to put the cursor after the carriage return and double line feed that have been added after my completed paragraph. I can also use the mouse and L click to move the cursor after the finished para'
I've taken to adding two line feeds and some buckshee characters when I want to add a photo. Then I position the cursor at the first line feed before pressing the camera icon to add a picture. This avoids the annoying placement of the first word of the new paragraph on the same line as the photo itself. The extraneous characters just act as a marker to start subsequent text.
Doesn't have to be a why. I just fixed a work round.
Rgds to all
Simon
