Is the text in the paragraph justified? If so, then you need to set a
compatibility option. Tools - Options - Compatibility, Don't expand
character spaces on the line ending Shift-Return (Word 2003). In Word 2007,
look in Office - Word Options - Advanced - Compatibility options (at the
bottom of the scrollable dialog).

Alternatively, if you want to preserve the ability to justify lines, you can
press Tab before you press Shift+Enter.
