Perhaps the problem is mine since I am using a rather old Apple Mac. I see a large box labelled "paragraph," but when I press it I only get headings of various sizes. What is the proper method of starting a new paragraph here? I even thought of running the space bar to the right, which had no effect. Thank you.

Hmmm... I had never considered that @Irv - I usually just press the return key, which gives not just a new-line but also an additional empty-line like this
Now I'm here having pressed "return" / "Enter"
I'm not sure about the use of the word "paragraph" - it really seems to be a "font-size" selection of the various possible "headings", with the default being the so-called "paragraph-font"
It seems to me, just to be a way of selecting different sized fonts and nothing more
although, having just done that on one selected word in the above line, the entire line changed font-size, not just the one word I had selected....
🙂 I wouldn't worry overly much about it !
This, for your interest was done under Chrome on Windows....
I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh - 
Please make your own, different mistakes, and help us all learn :-)

Already tried the return key and it was a no-go. It sounds like the problem lies in the Apple software I am using. I will try an i-Pad next. If not, I may resort to {New Paragraph Here}.

Hi Irv:
Your description of what you're seeing sounds like the standard box where one would enter a forum post or reply. Is this what you're seeing?
If so, what you've described as a label saying "Paragraph," is actually a drop down menu for various formatting options. All you need to do is type your text in the box and hit the Enter key on your computer to make a new paragraph.
The options listed in the drop down menu allow you to apply formatting to your text if you want certain parts to appear as larger/bolder headings. For example, I'm applying the formatting to the following lines:
Heading 1
Heading 2
Heading 3
Hope that helps.

My Mac only has a return key.
I just found that I can use the down and left cursor buttons to create a paragraph. Problem solved. Thanks all for your efforts.
