Dooley is going to have an apoplexy unless I start using paragraphs the way he wants. My not doing so is upsetting his composure, digestion and maybe even his sex life. Trouble is, I never got instruction on this contraption. I've pressed Tab which ought to inset lines but it don't. In strictly baby-talk please, tell me how to make paragraphs properly. Then Dooley can relax, and so can I

At the end of a sentence.
Press enter twice, then tab.

| Expat, can't make that work, doesn't seem to want to play. Have carried out your instructions several times, no go. What am I doing wrong?

Will try again. Mary had a little lamb.
Nope. When I do as you say the cursor drops down into the attachment box below this one! Weird.
When I can I'll consult my BT neighbour to see if he can help but he's never home.
Ta again.

| You don't need to press Tab. Every time you press enter you'll go down either to the next line or leave a blank line depending on the browser you're using. If it only goes down 1 line press Enter twice....

You can simply press "Enter" then the space bar......sorry, the long bar at the bottom that makes spaces between words, as far as you think a new paragraph needs to start.
Sometimes, although I don't know why with you in this case, the Tab button moves you to new boxes. This usually works when you are filling in online forms that have various data entry fields, like when you signed up for this forum.
A couple of things to check with your system:
1. Do you have enough steam to drive your machine?
2. Does it type in olde English only?
3. Do you have a three year old grandchild who can help you?
4. When you boot (sorry, press the "On" button) does your system tell you that your 1GB hard drive is full?

there is a down side to this if greenie does start using some spacing - i may actually mistakenly read some of his posts

Come on ladies... Lets not all get on Greenies back...  A lot of this depends on various things, including the Browser and version of Browser being used...
I will admit, when using the latest version of FireFox, pressing tab does give me a tab.
Greenie, maybe you need to play with different keystrokes in order to get the desired effect, such as in MSNMessenger, use Alt+Enter to get a new line.

Thank you, darlings, kiss, kiss. And an extra for Dooley, mwah! My BT neighbour has been in and wrangled the kit so hopefully it will work. But don't hold your breath. My computer has thrombosis. A clot on the keyboard .
Keep taking the fluids.
Nope, tried wot he said and it don't work. Oh, sod it, Dooley will just have to put up with it . Doesn't read my stuff anyway. Sob  .
