Problem with (Carriage) RETURN in Notes Section of MS Outloo

Jul 31, 2011 8:56PM PDT

This has happened since I went to OS 10.6.8 and Office 14.1.2 .

I use the Notes section of Outlook to maintain various lists and such. A typical format may be a list of names and a date.

I have a problem where I move the cursor to the right end of a line and hit the RETURN key. Rather than just insert a blank line where I can insert an entry into my list, it sometimes jumps ahead three or four lines.

It does not happen consistently. Seems to happen more in the middle or toward the end of a Note while if I do that operation near the beginning it works fine.

I did restart the computer - no change.

It doesn't happen on every note (I haven't tried every position) but it does happen on multiple notes so it is not just a corrupt note.

No other negative symptoms that I have come across.

Something I did or a software bug?
