What happens to indent settings when you use the Enter key at the end of an indented paragraph?

When you press the Enter key at the end of an indented paragraph, the settings for the indent are carried over to the new paragraph. This means that if you've set a specific indentation for a paragraph and then create a new paragraph right after it, the new paragraph will retain that same indentation level. This continuity in formatting is crucial for maintaining a coherent structure in documents that rely on consistent indentation for readability, such as formal reports or essays.

The options offered provide different scenarios, but maintaining the indent settings is standard behavior in word processing programs, ensuring that users don’t have to continuously reset their formatting with each new paragraph. This feature enhances productivity and ensures that documents look professional and organized.
