In the book I'm proofing now there are lots of sections with double blank
lines between; I'm using only one asterisk in the space. It is, hard, though,
and Valerie maybe you're having a similar problem, in ascertaining, in the
print book, whether some of these these are line spaces or merely paragraph
breaks. I have to look carefully down the page to find a paragraph break to
compare with.
As to paragraph indentations, I change the First Line in paragraph under format
to .05.
I missed the first time your (or whose?) question was raised ; I hope I'm not
answering to the wrong thing
