Steve,

No, no, no! It is very incorrect to have two line breaks to signify a paragraph break in a word document. If you are thinking of the visual blank space that "looks like" two line breaks, it is terribly wrong to achieve that by pressing the return key two times. That can result in widow/orphan blank lines at the top and bottom of print pages, etc. The correct way in print is to set your points before or after to 12 in your paragraph style definition. This gives the appearance of the "extra" white space in print but retains the correct formatting of ONE press of the return key for ONE paragraph change. You do not create white space in print through use of the return key, but through proper use of styles. Sorry, but you're wrong here in terms of what constitutes a paragraph versus a new line.

Jean
