High Joe, not sure if its universal but the International Lyric server for example seems to use a soft return at the end of lines (sorry can't find a copyable example of the displayed symbol, it isnt defined in Courier New and I don't want to start experimenting with changing fonts in the middle of this, but it looks like a leftward pointing arrow with a vertical bar at the tail going up). You generate them in Word by using shift return. In the "Special" drop down list of the "Replace" pop up its listed as "Manual line break" (^l) Just another helpful inconsistency brought to you by MS!

Hope that helps.
