Hello Dominic, Lots of style guides insist that a "paragraph" should have at least two sentences. I can see that editing these paragraphs fit on to one line might have a grave impact on readability. Frame uses "paragraph" formats to attribute typographical properties to a string of characters between two "paragraph" markers. By replacing Frame's automatic line break with a hard end of para marker, each line of text will aquire the properties of font size, interline, and spacing of a paragraph. The single line of characters can be any part of a style guide paragraph. This approach has a low impact on readability, but demands additional effort to change the characters in a paragraph of reviewers of the document require changes. The benefit of hard line breaks instead of automatic line breaks in body text is that the upper and lower spacing around a paragraph, often not values equal to one or two interline spaces, are applied to all lines. Thus every line of body text, regardless of Frame's paragraph format settings, will have a consistent and regular spacing - just like a typewriter. My apologies to all who thought my "single line paragraph" suggestion was intended for style guide paragraphs, rather than "paragraphs" as defined in Frame terminology. Cheers Ian
