This was possible in Word 3.01: option-return gave you a non-paragraph-
breaking, non-justifying line-break just like you want.  In show-control-
characters mode, it would appear as a paragraph mark, but did not in fact
break the paragraph.

This doesnt work in Word 4.  In Word 4, option-return is equivalent to
plain return.  However, you can get the required effect thusly:

0.  Find a copy of Word 3.01.  (Probably the most difficult step.)
1.  Use Word 3.01 to make a document containing an option-return.
2.  Open the document with Word 4.  Whatever object it is that Word 3.01
inserted when you hit option-return, it behaves in the same way in Word 4.
You cant make more of them with that keystroke, but you can duplicate
them by copy and paste.
3.  To make it more easily accessible, you can make a glossary entry
which will insert the object, and use Word 4's wonderful Commands command
to bind it to the option-return keystroke, and it will behave just like
Word 3.01.

I don't know if this can be arranged automatically, but you can always
change the character format of the reference mark to plain and type
brackets round it.
