I have a document into which I insert text using a VB
program. As a Word 97 document, I insterted the standard
vbCR character to indicate a new paragraph. We have
upgraded to Word 2000. The vbCR character now shows up as
a rectangle and no paragraph is inserted.

I understand I could rewrite to use the Word
Selection.TypeParagraph method, but that will take
significant rework.

Does anyone know what character can be inserted via VB
code to insert a paragraph into the text?

Hi Dave,

ActiveDocument.Range.InsertAfter "This" & vbCr & "That:

will insert

This?
That

in all versions of Word that use VBA. It must be something else that is
causing your problem.
