WHAT IS PARAGRAPH?

 In micro soft word, a paragraph is a distinct nit of information that has it own formatting characters, such as alignment, spacing and styles. A paragraph is always followed by a paragraph marks. The way you format paragraph in a document depends on how you intend to use the document and how you want it to look.

Often, you’ll format paragraph differently within the same document. For example, if you are a term paper, you might create a title page that has a center-aligned title in its own paragraph, with your name and the data right-aligned at the bottom of the paper in their own paragraphs. The paper’s body paragraph might be left-aligned, with double line spacing. Your paper  might also contain headers, footers, footnotes, or endnotes that are formatted as individual paragraph.

When you press ENTER to end and paragraph and begin another, the resulting new paragraph has the same characteristic as the previous one. For example to make all the body paragraph in your term paper left-aligned and double spaced, you only have to set those attributes for the first paragraph, press ENTER carries the formatting over to the next paragraph.
