In Microsoft Word, the default action when pressing Enter is to create a new paragraph and not move to the next line. For most writing, this is not a problem until you want Word to not create a new paragraph.
Thankfully, there is a keyboard shortcut that moves to the next line. Move the text cursor to where you want the new line to begin, press Enter, hold down Shift, and then press Enter again. You can continue to press Shift+Enter to move to each new line, and when ready to move to the next paragraph, press Enter.
