If a word exceeds this length, Word will automatically move it to the next line. In addition to this automatic feature, you can also manually set soft and hard line breaks. But do you know the difference?<\/p><ul><li><p><strong>Hard line breaks<\/strong> are created using the <strong>Enter key<\/strong>. This starts a new paragraph and completes the previous thought. In lists, this key creates a new list item, with Word automatically generating a new bullet or number.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Soft line breaks<\/strong> only end the current line without starting a new paragraph. You can create a soft line break with <strong>Shift + Enter<\/strong>. This is useful in address blocks or poems but can also be handy in regular text. However, be careful: if your paragraph is justified, a soft line break can create big gaps between words. There\u2019s a simple trick for this: insert a tab stop before the break to maintain the spacing.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p>Here\u2019s what it looks like when using a soft line break in a list:<\/p><ul><li>Example line 1<\/li><li>separated by Enter from example line 2, <br \/>but by a soft line break from example line 3.<\/li><\/ul><p>As you can see, Word doesn\u2019t add a new bullet point.
