Strong expressions of disapproval for outrageous

A paragraph that was 9 lines long as I wrote it.

Viewed in MS OE, a paragraph should NEVER be square or even
worse, 'portrait'.

It wasn't. It was approximately twice as wide as it was high.
Have you tried maximising the window?

If it's more portrait than landscape, it's simply too long.

Don't remember learning that at school.

If that isn't intuitive to you, you have autistic issues - and
should therefore, be taking advice from more knowledgable folk.

Or better still, folk who know how to spell 'knowledgeable'.

I've NEVER seen it spelt -eable.

Likewise it's agism and not ageism.

It's not an additive thing, like knowledge + able = knowledgeable

It's a linguistic thing, so age + ism = agism

How pathetically 11 year-old.

I don't suppose you wrote, 'how to win friends and influence
people', did you?

Well, I can't claim the credit for that - but I did influence the OP
into usage of the carriage return.
Does that count ?

Hmm don't think so. It hasn't worked:) Yasee, if, for instance I
did a carriage return a lot

it
would
look
like
this
innit?

all that dinging when the carriage hits the end stop is giving me a
headache.

Poor wee lamb:( actually if you stop banging your head against the wall it
might help
