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.
