Command in Word 4.0/5.0/5.1           Description
---------------------------           -----------

New Paragraph After Insertion Point   Inserts a paragraph mark after the
                                      insertion point (leaving the
                                      insertion point in the same location
                                      but inserting paragraph marks below
                                      it). The shortcut for this command
                                      in Word 4.0, 5.0, or 5.1 is
                                      OPTION+COMMAND+RETURN.

New Paragraph With Same Style         Overrides the Next Style feature.
                                      Normally when Next Style is
                                      specified in a style's definition,
                                      pressing ENTER at the end of a
                                      paragraph applies the style specified
                                      in Next Style to the next paragraph.
                                      The shortcut for this command in Word
                                      4.0, 5.0, or 5.1 is COMMAND+RETURN.
                                      When you use this command, Word
                                      starts a new paragraph but does not
                                      apply Next Style; it applies the same
                                      style as the paragraph above it.

Scroll Line Up                      Scrolls up one line without moving the
                                    insertion point.

Scroll Line Down                    Scrolls down one line without moving
                                    the insertion point.
