soft return

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

soft return

A code inserted by word processing software into a text document to mark the end of the line based on the right margin setting. When the document is printed, the soft return is converted into the end-of-line code required by the printer. Soft returns were used in earlier character-based programs, but are rarely used in today's graphics-based applications. Contrast with hard return.


soft return [′sȯft ri′tərn]
(computer science)
A control code that is automatically entered into a text document by the word-processing program to mark the end of a line, based on the current right margin.
