Okay, thanks to Sarai and Steve for providing me with the keys to what I
think is the best solution for this problem.
Here's what I set up, and I can now enter text with one carriage return,
read it on the display with no manual spaces to signify a new paragraph,
and have the paragraph reading mode and thumb key paragraph reading
modes work correctly.
In the forward translation menu, set paragraph boundary to either Indent
or Blank Line, or New line. Interpret larger boundaries as paragraphs
also is set to no, but I'm not sure if that matters. Set the paragraph
format is new line. I didn't have any luck with this field adding the
two spaces as someone suggested. It didn't seem to make a difference.
Then in the document, go to the format menu under layout options and set
indent first line of paragraph to two.
Then you can just type text and use one carriage return and not worry
about adding blank spaces or extra carriage returns. At least the
paragraph movement functions work with this set up. I'm assuming it
would then translate back properly for printing or embossing.
So, although this seems to work, I'm still puzzled as to why the new
line para boundary and the new line para format indications aren't
enough to signal a new paragraph with the indent left at 0.
But I'm relieved to have found something that seems to work. I just have
to remember to set the Layout indent first line to two for any new
document.
