Why Do My Paragraphs Run Together When Writing a Letter?

This is a common formatting issue and the fix is simple once you know it.

When typing your letter, pressing Enter alone does not create a proper paragraph break in the system. Instead, hold Shift and press Enter at the same time. That keystroke creates a clean paragraph break that carries through correctly when the letter is formatted and printed.

If you have been hitting Enter and wondering why everything runs together into one long block of text, Shift and Enter is the solution. It takes one or two letters to get used to but becomes automatic quickly.
