When you create a list of say your favorite music with details of
composer, soloist, conductor and orchestra and maybe even some little
comment of your own, using SHIFT+ENTER to insert line breaks will still
keep the paragraph together. You can then format paragraphs to have a
blank space of x number of points between them instead of between what are
in effect paragraphs that are not meant to be proper paragraphs. Thus all
your relevant info will be in paragraphs with extra space between the
paragraphs. This is just one advantage of using line breaks.
Say for example you start a word document file about your favorite music.
You first key in the composer's surname followed by other relevant
information. this info with the composers name first. You can then
alphabetize the information and have say all Schubert paras listed
together one after another. This is another advantage of the system of
using line breaks instead of using paragraph breaks as line breaks because
then IF you do sort the file in alphabetic order you will end of with one
great big mess.
Any other advantages of using line breaks instead of paragraph breaks?
But if you have thought out what I have said and digested it, you should
be able to think of other scenarios where line breaks are preferable to
paragraph breaks.
