Thanks for the help Mike and Annette. I'll give
it a go and see what my wife says is the result.
I'm fine with it not showing the gap in Jaws, but
there are times I might want to just drop a line
down without a paragraph gap in Word, maybe this wil settle it. Thanks.

Hi Brad,
I just installed Office 2010 so, this is all new to me. See if the below
makes any sense to you.
To specify your own line spacing, type the spacing amount that you want in
the At box. For example, enter 1.25 for an extra quarter line of space
between
lines, or click the up or down arrow to increase or decrease the amount in
half-line increments. When you finish, click OK.
. Press one of the shortcut key combinations:
list of 4 items nesting level 1
Ctrl+l - Single-spacing
Ctrl+5 - 1.5-line spacing
Ctrl+2 - Double-spacing
Ctrl+0(zero) - Add or remove 12 points of space before a paragraph.
list end nesting level 1
Line Spacing in Word 2010
. Choose Paragraph... from the shortcut menu to open the Paragraph dialog
box. On the Indentation and Spacing tab, in the Line Spacing list box,
choose
one of the options:
list of 6 items nesting level 1
Single - Single-line spacing. (Line height automatically adjusts to
accommodate the size of the font and any graphics or formulas in a line.)
1.5 Lines - Line-and-one-half spacing (an extra half-line of space between
lines).
Double - Double-spacing (an extra full line of space between lines).
At Least - At least the spacing that you specify in the At box-the line
won't be shorter than what you specify, but it may be taller because Word
will add
extra spacing for tall characters, big graphics, and superscript or
subscript text.
Exactly - The exact spacing that you specify in the At box. All lines are
exactly the same height, regardless of the size of the characters in the
line;
Word doesn't add extra spacing. Note that some text may be cut off if enough
space is not available.
Multiple - Multiples of single-line spacing, such as triple (3) or quadruple
(4), as specified in the At box.

Hope this helped. Take care.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Word and paragraphs
Word 2010 and Jaws 13. When I hit a hard carriage return, it puts an
entire line between paragraphs which I don't want, and also Jaws does
not show the space when arrowing up and down through the document. Is
there a way to fix this? I've not set any paragraph settings or line
spacing or anything different than what was out of the box. I really
wish Microsoft would not impose these sort of assumptions. Thanks in
advance for any help you might have. I need to find a solution ASAP.
