Paragraph format works, but you may not understand what Word Writer
thinks is a paragraph.  If you type carriage return, that marks the
end of the paragraph.  Just type in your text without hitting carriage
return and let Word Writer break the lines for you.

By the way, the carriage returns it puts in are followed by a space,
so Word Writer can distinguish its line breaks from the carriage returns
that mark the ends of paragraphs.  If you delete the space
after a carriage return, you will turn the line break into a paragraph
end.
