# The Enter (or Return) Key

When you are writing a new document or a new part in a document, you can create elements sequentially by pressing the ENTER (or RETURN) key. The current element is terminated and a new one is created immediately after.

Most often, the new element created is simply a paragraph, whatever the type of the previous element. You can change the element type by selecting the desired type from the Types menu or by clicking the corresponding button.
