This might seem like a really simple question but how do you join two paragraphs on a Mac? On a Windows PC using any word processing app - you can simply use the "delete" button to "bring up" one paragraph with another but what is the equivalent on a Mac?
 
The same thing. The "delete" button.

Delete removes anything to the left of the cursor. fn+delete removes everything to the right of the cursor and control+delete removes word by word. Finally, command+delete removes the entire line.

ok thanks but how to do "bring up" two paragraphs so that they can be joined?
 
AbSoluTec, ah sorry - fn+delete did the trick! thanks so much and sorry about posting in the wrong forum!
 
Conceptualising the task as 'bringing two paragraphs together' is a bit strange. AFAIK there are no commands to 'bring two paragraphs together'. You're better of thinking about it as deleting text - including line breaks and white space - either to the left or right of your text cursor, both of which can achieve your goal depending on where your text cursor is. Surely AbSoLuTc's answer is sufficient.
