Expression Web 2 on Vista, SP 1.

I created an HTML page with a layout table, then saved the page as
Master.dwt. The layout table was a stock table selected from the layout
table window\pane, and consist of a cell across the top of the page and a
cell along the left side of the page.

When I tried to edit the Master.dwt by entering text into either of the two
layout cells I received line breaks, instead of paragraphs, after the Enter
Key was pressed.

If the cells for the Master.dwt were changed to editable then new paragraphs
would appear, instead of line breaks, when the Enter Key was pressed. Since
the cells really should not be editable, there must be a better way to do
this.

How does one get new paragraphs in noneditable layout cells in the
Master.dwt after the Enter Key is pressed?

Thanks for any information.

Not using layout tables I can't say for sure but the behavior you are
describing is one I see when text is added w/o a <p> in the html. Sino table
cells will not have a <p>&nbsp;</p> entered by default checking split view
if there is a <p>. If not select the text then from the toolbar right check
on the paragraph element and select wrap. Then enter will give you a new
paragraph.

Thanks Cheryl. That appears to be the solution. I also found that making
the layout cell editable then changing it back to noneditable also causes
paragraphs to appear when the Enter Key is pressed.
