No, that may have worked, up to a point, for EasyWriter thirty years ago, but it's an abuse of OpenOffice.org, and will sooner or later screw up your page layout. You can Format->Paragraph, pick (if it is not already picked) Indents & Spacing, and enter a value in Spacing:Below paragraph, but if you're sensible, you do the same thing, but apply it to a style, and then apply the style to the paragraphs. Same thing for Microsoft Word (going back to Word for DOS 1.0, back in 1983), same thing for Pages (in Apple iWork), same thing for any WYSIWYG word processor I know of. Same thing, too, for any modern markup language, for that matter, if you adjust the terminology a little -- even for HTML -- going back at least to when GML (without the S) was an IBM proprietary product for mainframes and laser printers were the size of a VW bus. You can use the point of a steak knife to turn a Philips-head screw if you insist on it, but it's bad for the knife and bad for the screw, and is likely to end in tears. -- John W Kennedy "The grand art mastered the thudding hammer of Thor And the heart of our lord Taliessin determined the war." -- Charles Williams.
