Cannot start a new paragraph by hitting 'enter'

There is a strange misbehaviour with my freshly installed InDesign.
I cannot start a new paragraph as I type. I have tried all the keyboard combinations (fn\ctrl\shift+enter) but it doesn't work.
I have vista.
Any ideas what's wrong? Please help!

thanks but this is not quite this.
the mouse works ok. problem is in the keybord
by the way, none of the shortcuts are working at all.
how can i assign basic shortcuts automatically?
and this insensitivity to 'enter' drives me mad)
If you're on a laptop and are using the Enter/Return key on the number pad, this might be the problem. Search Google for terms like "InDesign enter key not working" without quotes for good references, even if you're not on a laptop.
[EDIT] Also Search Google for terms like "InDesign editing shortcuts" without quotes, for references on customizing shortcuts.

HT1349 why when i start the new ipad, it shows " Enter the password for the CalDAV account "Yahoo!"?

when I start my new ipad, it shows " Enter the password for the CalDAV account "Yahoo!"? so, i need to tap the cancel button 2 times. after that, i can use my new ipad. I just bought the new ipad 21.05.2012. yesterday, worst to worst, i cannot used my new ipad because after i tap the button cancel 2 times, the new i pad just hanging there with the box Enter the password for the CalDAV account "Yahoo!". It doesn't moved and I hate it so much.

Most likely your yahoo password setup in your mail account is wrong. When you wake your ipad it checks for mail right away(even though it has when it sleeps). Your password or something with your Yahoo mail is wrong.
Assuming caldav is your yahoo name. If its not a yahoo email, you have email setup wrong. Its your email.

How can I start a new paragraph within the same table cell?

In Numbers, when adding text within a table frame, how can I start a new line within the same frame (rather than advancing to the next cell)? I'd like to enter a mini-list of several items of various lengths of data.

While Wayne's answer solves your problem, another possibility is to uncheck the box at the bottom of the Table inspector for "Return key moves to next cell." If that is unchecked, the return key types a paragraph return within the cell (the same as Option Return with the box checked).
With that box unchecked, Shift Return types a soft return (new line without a paragraph break).

Cannot start a new project

I have recently had Captivate 7 installed. It was installed through a share drive, so to improve performance, I had to (Through preferences; change the Publish at and Cache locations to my local drive. This did speed up performance but cause two big problems:
1. When I open Captivate 7 and select a New/Blank project, nothing comes up. Stage stays blank. I cannot open anything even templates
2. When I try to start a new Video Demo I get a fatal error message; "A fatal error has occured and the application is being terminated. Adobe Captivate has tried to save all your work in the respective project folders as ".cpbackup" files. Please restart Adobe Captivate" Help

Your desktop? And where is that pointing to? If your My Documents folder is on the network then in most cases that's where your desktop would be also, because it's normally part of your user profile.
Out of the frying pan...

Cannot start a new file

Download and install the 1.1.1 update to iWeb from here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/iweb111.html
Install right over your current version, and it should solve the problem.

Cannot Start a new project with a mapped network drive

When I try to start a new project with Encore and save the file to our network cluster (An Isilon Server), I get a file not found error message. When I try to do this to a local drive, it works just fine. None of the other Adobe products (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects) have this problem with this network drive.
Greg Glaser

Yes, it worked on the local drive, and also to a Windows Networked Server that was not the Isilon. Even after creating the project and moving it to the Isilon, it was generating error messages after a few minutes of use. The Isilon is using a BSD variant of Linux and Samba. The really strange part is the all other Adobe products from the Production Suite work with this server without any problems at all.

Cannot start a new message in messages beta

preferences and new message is grayed out, any ideas?

HI,
If the Messages Menu has the Preferences Option greyed out it tends to mean the App cannot "see" the .plist for this properly.
Apart for the iMessage Apple ID you entered how many other Buddy lists do you have ?
I would start with the Address Book.
Open this and check that the Head and Shoulders icon in the card with your details. (Messages uses the info and if it is wrong there can be issues).

Why doesn't it begin a new paragraph when I press "enter?"

Supposedly, when in paragraph mode, you can begin a new paragraph by pressing "Enter" in Windows. But, when I press "enter" it commits and takes me out of paragraph editing mode. This is very frustrating. What is the remedy?

I only experience the problem when I'm trying to do paragraph text in Adobe CS4. I have a Lenovo laptop that has 2 enter buttons: one with the number keys and the second with the alphabet keys. For whatever reason, both enter keys "commit" the text when pressed. I did find out that if I press the FN key with the Enter Key, then it takes me to the next paragraph. But, that is a little "weird" since regular paragraph text doesn't work like that. Can this be changed in my settings?
Thanks,

Making A New Paragraph Out of an Existing One

Say I'm trying to make a new paragraph and I space a group of words to another line so that I can start a new paragraph with those groups of words and sentences...the problem I'm having is that once I space all those words to the next line to make a new paragraph, they won't space out from the left margin, I have to hit my TAB button to indent for a new paragraph which I don't prefer...I'd rather just space the words 5 spaces but I can't do that because the text won't space out from the left margin.. I hope you understand what I'm saying...it's another annoying thing about Pages that's really bothering me...

+It's called paragraph indent in English.+
Thank you
+I consider it a basic wordprocessing technique. It works on my 1899 L.C. Smith typewriter too.+
It works perfectly in Pages too.
Simply, the default indent value is zero.
This is why I passed a screenshot showing you how to set the indent value.

New paragraph attributes

I know that this has been answered before, but I can't find it anywhere. In my text pane, when I hit return and start a new paragraph, I lose all my style formatting. I lose color, bold, italics, etc. I was wondering if there is some flag that I am not setting for this not to happen. I would like to keep all attributes if possible.

the workaround in bug 4433937 may help (subclassing StyledEditorKit and overring createInputAttributes)

How can I move text onto the following line in CSS without making a new paragraph?

Hello there,
I want to do the follow:
Name of company,
Address of company 1,
Address of company 2,
Address of company 3,
When I press enter to move the text underneath the previous text, it starts a new paragraph which I don't want. How can I simply get it to flow onto the next line without creating a new paragraph?
Thanks so much in advance.

You can use 

Address 01 
Address 02 
Address 03 

I'd probaly type it out in Code View but I think you can use shift+enter

Text continues moving horizontally rather than starting a new line in editable text field

I am trying to make a feed backbox for visitors on my website. I have made the editable text field and scroll bar and set all of my preferences, but when the typing reaches the border on the right of the text field it just continues to type further horizontaly. I can start a new line by pressing enter but I would like it to start a new line on its own when it reaches the boundary. Any help is appreciated.

assign your textfield's wordWrap property to true.
