More info: the OOo heading styles in the old (2.x) template have
different names from the OOo heading styles in the new template, so you
need to do a search-and-replace to change them after you put a chapter
into the new template. Same for paragraph styles for lists. In fact,
most of the lists used to be in OOoTextBody with manually-applied list
styles; now they use proper paragraph styles for lists -- and therefore
they all need to be changed in the file when converting it.
If you're not familiar with both the old and new templates (and there is
no reason why you should be, at this point), it can be quite confusing
to update an v2.x user guide file to the v3.0 template, because you
won't know what to look for. We haven't written a how-to on this,
because up to now the few people doing conversions have been familiar
with the discussions on the new template.
It's very fiddly at first, until you get used to it. If you find doing
the conversion too frustrating, you're allowed to just concentrate on
updating the content, adding new content, or whatever is needed, and one
of us can tidy up the template issues. Of course, if you can do it all,
that's even better.

Subject: Re: [authors] Problem with new template or bug?
The OOoTextBody style has extra space below it, and the various
OOoHeading styles have extra space above and below, so you should not
need to do anything manually regarding spacing.
DO NOT use carriage returns to introduce more space.

Okay understood.
So just to confirm, between consecutive paragraphs of text under the same
subheading, do you increase the line spacing of the last line, or leave an
extra carraige return at the end (/n/n) to seperate the two?
