It has come to my attention that some of you are having problems with
the second word processing assignment and knowing where the end of the
line characters are in the document (the ones I told you to delete to
make the text flow correctly).
In LibreOffice you can choose to see the non-printing characters (look
under the view menu). When you turn this on you document will have lots
of ¶ markers in the text. These mark the end of paragraphs (and places
where you hit return).
Basically you need to delete the ones that don't belong in the text. If
it marks the end of a paragraph or break (when compared to the online
PDF file) then leave it. Otherwise, delete it.
