Double-click AFTER the end of your document...

Disclaimer: I'm a technical trainer at a law firm and have advised the user to just stop doing this; but she keeps asking and I am intrigued by the behavior (since I'm a geek). AKA: why does this even do this?

Okay, open up Word and turn on your Show/Hide option (just makes this easier to watch). I've been able to do this without entering ANY text, but you're welcome to enter some if it makes you feel better. :)

1. double-click after the last/only paragraph marker (on the same line) - EXHIBIT 1 below
   1. if you do it just to the right of the marker, you should see a tab inserted
   2. if you do it further to the right, still on the same horizontal line, you should see a different/longer tab inserted
   3. BUT... press ESC on your keyboard and it goes away
2. double-click BELOWthe paragraph marker, maybe 4-5 lines down - EXHIBIT 2 below
   1. you should see hard returns added where you double-clicked
   2. if you do it even further DOWN, it just adds more lines
   3. BUT... press ESC on your keyboard and it goes away
3. *NOW*... do either/both of the items above
   1. But type some text this time...
   2. pressing ESC does nothing; the text is saved and now your document is a bit odd (line spacing reverts back, among other settings that don't follow)

Again, I suggested that the user just stop doing this. I couldn't get her to give me a solid answer as to how/why she even noticed this. Why would you click outside of your content like that?

Anyway, does anyone know (1) how to turn this off (if possible?) and why this would be there (cause I'm curious)?

THANKS!!!

Aaron :)
