Ok, if I understand you correctly, you're saying that you apply
attributed to words such as bold, underline or italic and then you've
been told to hit Shift/Enter to stop the line from being bold,
underlines or italic?
If that's the case, I'd love to get a hold of the person who told you
that, because you've been not only wasting a lot of keystrokes, but
you've been applying poor formatting to all your documents!
To turn on attributes such as bold, you simply hit Ctrl/B to toggle ON
the bold attribute and start typing. Hit Ctrl/B again to toggle it off.
Or you can select the word(s) after it's been typed and THEN toggle on
the attributes to the selected text. You can use the shortcuts keys of
Ctrl/B for Bold, Ctrl/I for Italic and I believe Ctrl/U.
A better way is actually to create a character style to apply to the
words, but that might be a bit advanced for you at this point. But know
that you should RARELY use the Shift/Enter keystroke. There are reasons
to use it, but getting out of formatting is not one of them!
If this still wasn't what you meant, let me know and we'll roll again!

I will explain again.
Like example, if you got first line with bolded and underline, so to get
another line without bolded and underlined, you will need to hit line
break to get out of it which its shift - enter It work for office 2k but
not my version of office xp. You got what I mean?

Sorry, but I don't quite understand what it is that you're trying to
accomplish? Can you provide another view of what it is you're doing? If
you're talking about Styles, maybe this article will help:

If I'm missing the mark of what it is you're talking about, let us know.

Hi,
Is there any wrong or any setting need to be change in Word XP that if
you have a couple of format like bolded and underline on a sentence but
you want to start afresh on another new sentence, so in word 97 or 2000,
I'm taught to use shift - enter to have a line break but in word xp, its
not making any differents. I use line break often in my schoo running
Office 2k but at home, I got XP though. Even searching line break in the
help of word xp, comes to answer of hitting shift - enter.
Just find it weird to me.
Biggest question in my life, why is a building call a building when its
already built?
Best and regards,
Thomas Nathan Chan
