manythanks Brian, it helped me to know why I wasn't able to delete a 
carriage return/paragraph mark, it was becouse the two paragraph marks 
were in two different cells with the separation border hidden, so the 
two cells appeared like as they were a single cell with two paragraphs, 
nothing highlight/stand out the presence of a hidden border that split 
the two cells, even if you set to on the "show non printable character".
I don't know if it is a bug but it is a very misleading behaviour, in 
the past I remember a subtle dotted border to identify a cell and I 
think it would be better to reintroduce it, also only in "show non 
printable characters" set on.
thanks again  :-) ciao  :-) pier
