Default Bent arrow at end of line

For more on nonprinting marks, see

By the way, if your goal is to make text lines shorter in some paragraphs,
right (and/or left) indents are usually a better way than line breaks.

The right angle arrow indicates a line break. To insert such a break,
press Shift+Enter.

On documents that I have copied I see a little right angle arrow. How do
I
get this mark instead of a paragraph mark every time hit enter. I
understand
that the paragraph mark contains style info for that paragraph and you
only
want one at the end of the paragraph?

Thank you for the link. It was very helpful. The reason I need line breaks
is for variable length lines like in poems and song lyrics.

OK, with poems and song lyrics it's quite all right to use line breaks. :-)
