Katie, oops... sorry 'bout that reg #, I copied the email I was sending to NNA. It was late and brain cells were checking out by the thousands... All OS and driver updates are installed (I keep B/U copies on external HD just for such events). Now that you provoked the brain cells left, I see the installed BIOS is 2 versions old. JAN, I thought you may be on to something with the number lock (or INSERT lock) but, alas, it made no difference. When I hit the ENTER, it closes the text block, I have tried Fn-ENTER, Alt-ENTER, Ctrl-ENTER, Shift-ENTER and it does the same thing. I'VE LOST... my... carriage returns, &%%#!

I seem to have lost my ability to place carriage returns in a text block and I don?t seem to be able to find a switch for control of the keyboard ENTER function. I hope that you can help. Recently, I had my motherboard replaced which forced a ?clean install? of the OS, applications and documents. Since the reinstall, when I am typing a text block or noted list and press ENTER to start a new line or paragraph, the program ?sets? the text block instead of placing a carriage return for a new line. Previously, when pressing ENTER, the new line was placed and to ?set" the text block, I had to use FUNC-ENTER or click out of the block. Reading this forum, I see this is how it should be working... System Info: Vectorworks 10.5.0 OS: WinXP Pro Computer: Compaq Presario 1500 notebook (2.0 Ghz P4) RAM: 512 MB Changes: Clean Install Hope you can be of assistance, this is really ?bugging? me.
