    Thank you for your answer. If this information has been posted a zillion times and I did not find it, then:

    1) There are a bizillion other non-contributory answers and it is hard to find the pertinent one. Thank you for helping me find it.
    2) I may be stupid. Even after reading through the O’Reilly book, I do not know this. My saving grace may be that this topic had not been closed. So it could be presumed that the final solution was still not available.
    3) The search engine finds many “format” answers that are not responsive to my concern.
    4) There is hyperbola somewhere.

    At the risk of infuriating someone else, I will try the more ineffective way of trial and error to see how to turn off the wysiwyg “gizmo.” It is my hope that you and everyone else could have a happier holiday season.

    Thanks again.

    Referring to Devo’s original posting, and without addressing the footnote issue, I am finding similar problems with my posting. The paragraph breaks disappear. Sometimes new paragraph breaks are created that did not exist.

    While Blepoxp’s point about MS Word adding formating of its own can be the source of many problems, this one does not seem to be due to MSWord. When I edit directly in the code view window, the extra code is not there. Results do not improve even after editing in the code window.

    Adding <br> or < /br> did not help the formating of text in the post.

    Any other ideas as to why this happens and how to remedy the situation?
