How do I stop making a new paragraph when i press enter?

When Im writing in Word 2007, whenever I press enter once the text ends up
looking like this:

the black cow

jumped over the

orange moon.

However, when it is posted on a website, it looks like this:

the black cow
jumped over the
orange moon

How do I make it stop so that what the text looks like on the word page
looks the same on a web page?
Any answers in 'idiot English' please.

Thanks.

Insert a line break (Shift+Enter) instead of a paragraph break (or, of
course, let Word wrap the lines naturally, without breaks).

how do I let word wrap it naturally? And also it looks like a paragraph on a
word page but when I copy and paste onto my writing homepage, it takes away
the formatting as seen on the word page. So basically, unless I double
paragraph, then there is no paragraphing at all once copied to my writing
site.

I didnt have this problem with word 2003 - I could copy and paste and it
stayed the same - and was wondering if there is a way to make 2007 work in
the same way.

If you need the line breaks (if it's poetry, for example), then you can use
Shift+Enter, but if you want the text to wrap to available space (between
margins on a page to be printed or within a browser window, regardless of
how it's resized), then you should avoid manual breaks within a paragraph.
If you want space between paragraphs, HTML uses two line breaks instead of a
paragraph break.

If you are saying that you want to restore the settings of the blank
document template in Word 2003, you can do the following: On the Home tab of
the ribbon, click Change Styles | Style Set | Word 2003. Then click Change
Styles | Fonts | Office Classic. Finally, click Change Styles | Set as
Default. If/when you are prompted to save the Normal template, choose to do
so.
