100 Computer Tips in 100 Days
Tip #75 - Important Microsoft Word Tips
I see a lot of frustration when people are creating
documents that have bullets and numbered lists. One of the things that makes
bullets and numbered lists so convenient is that when you press the Enter key,
you automatically get a new bullet or number. Well that’s all well and good but
suppose you just want a new line, not a new bullet or number. Ah, here’s the
secret.
When you press the Enter key you are creating a new
paragraph and the new paragraph carries the same formatting (bullets/numbering)
as the previous paragraph. To get a new line you need to hold down the Shift
key and tap the Enter key. This is particularly helpful when you want to create
second lines below bullets and numbers. This new line is sometimes called a
“soft return”. I can see your blood pressure lowering already.
