When you're sending a quick Facebook comment, it is generally acceptable to write your message in one unformatted paragraph. If you want to create more structure in your post or comment, indicate a new paragraph by putting a space between two lines of text. Depending on which field you are in, the process of inserting a new line is slightly different. If you mess up, comments and posts can always be deleted and redone.

Step 3

Hit the "Shift" key and then "Enter" to move down to the next line. Repeat the process to move down again and begin to type new text. Moving down to a new line twice creates a blank line between your text.
