It's worth trying out the different paragraph formats available and best not to stray into HTML which can repercuss later when you change things. Also best to let text go right across the page and wrap, rather than using shift return to brake into smaller line lengths, unless of course you make a single column table and make a %width of the page but that will sting you in the tail. Keep it simple.
