O.K.--now I need to ask again.
A couple of years ago, I think it was, I asked about
paragraphs and at that time more people found indented
paragraphs easier to read than those with lines
skipped between them. Whether they were Braille or
Jaws readers I don't remember--so I've been using
indented paragraphs. Sometimes, when there is a lot of
dialogue, paragraphs have to be indented rather than
have line spaces between them or they won't fit on the
proper page.
So what do most of you prefer? Bob, you've already
answered. smile
