No. A carriage return just returns the carriage to the left.

For those of you who are too young to remember typewriters or even non WYSIWYG word processors, it is understandable that you think a carriage return includes a line feed because that is normal with a WP.

Think of it this way. The terminology dates from the world of tripewriters, so I will explain it using that now obsolete piece of equipment as an example.

The carriage is the bit that carries the paper wrapped around that rubber roller. You can return that carriage just by pushing it to the left. If you did that, when you started typing it would overwrite the previous line.

However, if you push the carriage back to return it to the start of the line by using he chromed lever fitted to the right hand end of the carriage, pressure on that lever rotates the rubber roller a preset amount so that the paper moves up and the next line will be below the previous one.

So you can actually return the carriage without advancing the paper ie just a carriage return or you can combine the carriage return with a line feed by using the lever to push the carriage back to the start of the line.

The normal effect of pressing the Enter key with a WP is the same as pushing the carriage back with the lever, ie a combined CR and LF.

So there is such a thing as a carriage return without a line feed and there is such a thing as a line feed without a carriage return. Or at least there used o be.

I hope that clears that up.

If you wanted to provide a link to your picture, you have done absolutely nothing wrong. What did you want, a link, a thumbnail or an image?

Take out the three asterisks. That was just to stop the image appearing twice.
