Do not abuse capital letters.
Never use the SPACE BAR to re-space the text. Use the TAB key instead.
When typing you may be tempted to press ENTER as you are getting close to the page right border. We all used to do that when we were using typewriters.
In computers there is no need to enter a CR (carriage return) except when you want to start a new line. The programs will manage the right margin and will start a new line automatically when you reach the right page border.
|
There are 2 types of CR (carriage return).
ENTER goes to the next line and it is called a HARD NEW LINE.
SHIFT ENTER goes to the new line and it is called SOFT NEW LINE.
Some word processors (including e-mail writing) give you a double space new line with the ENTER and a single space new line with the SHIFT ENTER.
