How can I lower what I am typeing?

Hi -
I hope I am putting this in the right place.  I am running Windows 7 and IE 9.
When I am typing in WordPad the first line is at the top of the page.  After I type several lines I decide I need to type a line above the first line.  I can not move  down what I have typed so that I can type in another line.  Is there a way to move the typed lines down from the top?    Thanks      Bob

Have I understood you correctly?

If you place your cursor before the first letter on the first line and press the [Enter] key, it will move the text down by one line space. If you press [Enter] twice, the text will move down by two lines. You will then have space above that section of text to type in another sentence.
