    Are you sure that the bar code reader is not programmed to add extra characters?

    All barcode readers I have dealt with are programmable as to the code they read, as well as prefix and suffix characters, which may even be multiple characters.
    E.g. I use a ~ as prefix to indicate to the program that the characterstring comes from the barcode reader and not the keyboard. It then uses that information to swicth to the barcode looku instead of the stock code. I also add a tab character suffix to move to the quantity column on the screen.

    Notepad may not give a true picture, I just had a reader configured to have a trailing horizontal tab #09 character, and notebook turned it into a CR/NL.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
