Adding a Second Paragraph¶

Procedure¶

Starting with a single paragraph:

I added a second paragraph:

Document XML Changes¶

Something went wrong. Adding the first paragraph gave me this:

<body>
 <p>
  <r>
   <t>
    How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore,
    and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of
    a forgotten spot in the Caribbean,
    by providence impoverished in squalor,
    grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
   </t>
  </r>
  <bookmarkStart/>
  <bookmarkEnd/>
 </p>
 <sectionProperty>
  <pageSize/>
  <pageMargin/>
  <cols>
  <docGrid>
 </sectionProperty>
</body>

Somehow, the second paragraph yielded this:

<body>
 <p>
  <r>
   <t>
    How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore,
    and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of
    a forgotten spot in the Caribbean,
    by providence impoverished in squalor,
    grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
   </t>
  </r>
 </p>
 <p>
  <r>
   <t>
    The ten-dollar founding father without a father
    got a lot farther by working a lot harder,
    by being a lot smarter, by being a self-starter;
    by fourteen, they placed him
   </t>
  </r>
  <r>
   <t>
    in charge of a trading charter.
   </t>
  </r>
  <bookmarkStart/>
  <bookmarkEnd/>
 </p>
 <sectionProperty>
  <pageSize/>
  <pageMargin/>
  <cols>
  <docGrid>
 </sectionProperty>
</body>

What happened? Somehow, the second paragraph got divided into a pair of runs. I recreated the docx and the same thing happened, in the same location. I wonder what it means.

Other Changes¶

Another <w:rsid> in word/settings.xml: <w:rsid w:val="00B61498"/>

What does it mean?

The <sectionProperty> tag changed: the <w:rsidR> attribute changed from “00617040” to “00B61498”... Which is also the number from just above...

The docProps/app.xml counts changed again:

Words from 29 to 59
Characters from 166 to 337
Lines from 1 to 2
CharacterWithSpaces from 194 to 395

Paragraphs...did not change...?! Still 1. Maybe because I didn’t put a linefeed at the end of the second paragraph?
