Line breaking, also known as word wrapping, is the process of breaking a section of text into lines such that it will fit in the available width of a page, window or other display area. In text display, line wrap is the feature of continuing on a new line when a line is full, such that each line fits in the viewable window, allowing text to be read from top to bottom without any horizontal scrolling. Word wrap is the additional feature of most text editors, word processors, and web browsers, of breaking lines between words rather than within words, when possible. Word wrap makes it unnecessary to hard-code newline delimiters within paragraphs, and allows the display of text to adapt flexibly and dynamically to displays of varying sizes.
Soft and hard returns
A soft return or soft wrap is the break resulting from line wrap or word wrap (whether automatic or manual), whereas a hard return or hard wrap is an intentional break, creating a new paragraph. With a hard return, paragraph-break formatting can (and should) be applied (either indenting or vertical whitespace). Soft wrapping allows line lengths to adjust automatically with adjustments to the width of the user's window or margin settings, and is a standard feature of all modern text editors, word processors, and email clients. Manual soft breaks are unnecessary when word wrap is done automatically, so hitting the "Enter" key usually produces a hard return.

HOW TO USE SOFT CARRIAGE RETURNS IN MICROSOFT WORD
HOW TO USE SOFT CARRIAGE RETURNS IN MICROSOFT WORD
A soft carriage return, or manual line break, can be used to display text on two lines, but the text is treated as if it were on a single line. Soft carriage returns display as when formatting characters are displayed.
The soft carriage return is often used to split titles and headings that are too long between two lines. As in the picture on the left, the title appears immediately below the lesson number. Any paragraph formatting, such as alignment, indentation, applied to either one of the lines will affect both lines. By contrast, in the picture on the right, there is a blank line between the two lines of text. Each line is a separate paragraph and can have its own paragraph formatting.
