Hi,

That would be the one that is marked "Return" that does not send as there is a separate Send item.

Its one of the hidden features that Apple ought to outline better for users. Its silly for such features to be available but not be advertised.

Sorry - I was thinking iPhone. I know that's how it's done on a Mac, but would like to know how to create paragraph on iPhone.
