Re: hard returns vs before/after spacing style

One of the most common things my student say after a class, especially Accessible Word, is how much faster it takes them to create their reports and other documents.
Shorter time, easier to format, and it's accessible. What's not to love?!

And yet most of what I teach — styles, no manual formatting, page breaks, TOCs, footnotes, et al — has roots in what I taught in my DOS word processing classes in the 1980s.

The second most popular thing I hear from students: why didn't I learn how to do this 20 years ago? I just can't answer that one!
