• T to select the text tool, click on page to start a text object, key in the following:

Line 1
Line 2

• Then Shift-Left-arrow to select character '2'
• click on Color Red on the Set fill palette at the bottom of Inscape Window

What happened?

A carriage return has been inserted before the '2' as seen in the text tool panel on the right, now reading as follows:

No extra carriage return inserted
