Best Answer

An <Enter> by itself produces a Carriage Return, the combination <Shift> <Enter> creates a Line Feed. Both are a little different. I use Line Feed especially when I am editing bullets and I want text to appear on a new line without starting a new bullet item.

If your text is formatted to recognize paragraphs, Word will put an extra space between paragraphs when you press the ENTER key. If you just want to start a new line within a paragraph (single-space within paragraph), then press Shift+Enter.

What is the use of shift enter?

Shift-Enter has different uses in different applications. In Excel, when entering something into a cell, pressing Shift-Enter will put the value into the cell and move to the cell above the active cell. If a number of cells have been selected at the time, then it will go to the previous cell. In Word it will start a new line, but keep the subsequent text as part of the same paragraph. This can be useful for things like addresses, where there are multiple lines, but you want to treat it as a single unit. Pressing Enter would make each line a separate paragraph. It is sometimes referred to as a soft return.

Which method is used to select a single word of text?

Double clicking on the word is the quickest way. You can also drag across it with the mouse button held. You could put the cursor at either end of it and while pressing the Shift key, press the left or right arrow, as appropriate, which will select one letter at a time. If you use Shift and the arrow keys while also pressing the Ctrl key, it will select one word at a time. So you have lots of choices as to how to select a word.
