Yes, Steve, I've been doing this for years, but I'd like not to have to.

Ann,

Although Dave's suggestion will work, there's a much simpler way to
accomplish what you want.  Assuming that you want all your paragraphs to
start at the left margin, and that you want a blank line between
paragraphs, insert the following code at the beginning of your document:
[svprg0:1]

This code tells DBTW how to handle all paragraphs.  The first number
tells DBTW how many spaces to indent, and the second number tells DBTW
how many lines to skip between paragraphs.  The beauty of using this
code is that you don't need to create or modify styles.
