Format Paragraphs

Paragraphs are unique to each version of the Bible. We choose to honor the paragraph breaks that the translators and publishers have chosen. You will need to follow the exact paragraph breaks that they have provided.
Place the cursor before the first character in the paragraph
Press SHIFT and ENTER (this should create a line break and an automatic indentation).
Note: there should be no space between the indent and the first character (whether it's a chapter/verse reference number or the first letter of the first word).
Note: most chapters in the Bible begin as new paragraphs. It's important to make sure that there is a paragraph indent at the beginning of every chapter that begins with a paragraph. Use the TAB key for that.
If the beginning of the paragraph occurs in the beginning of a speech bubble or narrator block of text, the line break will already be there because of the differences of colored text. In order to display the paragraph break you will need to create the indentation. To do that you would just press the TAB key one (1) time.
Poetry has the same paragraph breaks as the prose (regular text). Therefore you would use the same command to create that paragraph break (SHIFT and ENTER ... or ... just a TAB if it's the beginning of a new color block).
Poetry line breaks DO NOT include tab indentations. To achieve this regular line break simply press CTRL and ENTER. This will create a line break without an indentation.
