If you would like to start a completely new paragraph in MS Word, you do not have to search any further, you should just press the enter key.

This will allow you to start a new paragraph even if you have just placed a few words on the sentence or paragraph prior to the new paragraph that you are creating. MS Word is normally the program that is used by people when they want to create documents.

In Microsoft Word, the default action when pressing the Enter key is to create a new section and not move to the next line. It would be best if you pressed the enter key at the end of a paragraph to separate it from the next paragraph.

To indent the initial line of a paragraph, place your cursor at the beginning of it, and press the tab key. When you press enter to start the next paragraph, the first line will be indented, which permits you to create a new line within a paragraph.

Paragraph spacing is the amount of white space between two sections. Technically, a paragraph in Word is any text that ends as a hard return. You must insert a hard return anytime you press the enter key.

No matter if you are writing an essay, story or other type of writing in Microsoft Word, you may want to start a new paragraph at some point. This is quite easy. At the end of a paragraph, you will need to push the enter key. This will cause the cursor to move to the next line. In most cases, you will want to put a blank line in between the two paragraphs. In this case, you will need to push the enter key twice.

Sometimes, people will type their document in Microsoft Word, they want to keep their paragraphs flush along the left margin. However, some prefer to have indented paragraphs. To do this, after you press enter, you will need to push the tab button.
