Hi Fm Friends:

I am looking for a space followed by (Former and want to add a hard return in front of the space. (Or after, don't really care.) My cursor stops in front of the space but \r gives me a line break and not a paragraph break. It works correctly in InDesign but not in FrameMaker. What am I missing?

Correct answer Winfried Reng

And here is the post from which I copy this information.

Ok, so \x0a is the final answer for a ¶ (\x09 is a line break, same as \r)

And now I see them all listed in the character set list. Again, thank you all!

Thank you, @Winfried Reng, @Bob_Niland and @Matt-Tech Comm Tools. I am writing this down in a safe place because I'm now thinking I asked a similar question (if not the exact same question) last year. 🙄

EDIT: I needed a tab last year. \x08, FWIW.
