You probably should be talking to tech support. But here's another idea:
I created a style which I called <nul>, a "linear" or "block" style which
simply begins and ends the marked section with a [l] code. This insures
that it starts on a new line, but does not mess with indentation, poetry
mode or anything else that may be in effect at that point in the
document. Having defined this style in your default template, you go
through the document, changing those paragraphs that are lines into the
<nul> style. If you are doing several of these in a row, you can use
shift-F8 to speed up the editing process. I especially used this style in
list items, where I was not explicitly using the <list> style, but was
using poetry mode and indent codes to control the format. And nul is
probably not the best name for this style.

I'm hoping someone will be able to assist me with this question. I am
trying to modify the paragraph style. I don't like the fact that Duxbury
arbitrarily puts the first word of all paragraphs imported from word, in
the third space. I can enter the [svprg[ parameters at the beginning of
each document, but I don't want to have to do that. I first tried making
a template which included the [svprg] parameters I wanted, but I didn't
get the effect I wanted. The parameters I entered were
[svprg1:1:1]. This did work for me in previous versions. I next tried
modifying the style. I entered [ind0] to replace the beginning code [p],
but it doesn't stay in effect. Every time I look at the style again, the
[p] has come back. I did save the setting by pressing the ok button after
entering the parameters in the paragraph style. It used to be so much
easier when Duxbury allowed you to set paragraph style to none rather than
making the decision all paragraphs should be indented. That really messes
with poetry mode, which I use a lot.
