The difference is that when you use multiple presses of the enter key, you
can have stranded blank lines at the top of pages, which makes the text look
bad. The proper way is to set the Before or After spacing in the paragraph
dialogue box. Word will automatically put extra white space between
paragraphs. The best way I find to know when a paragraph change has occured
is to turn on paragraph marks and also use paragraph navigation commands.

I'm also an author and never thought about how a sighted writer gets a blank
line. Obviously I work alone. If the wanted result is the blank line what
difference does it make how you get it?

As a screen reader user, I prefer to use the technique of pressing the Enter
key twice to place a blank line between paragraphs. However, sighted people
like to adjust the paragraph settings. This drives me crazy as the only way
that I have been able to figure out that they used this approach was to dig
through the paragraph settings. So when I am co-authoring a document with a
sighted co-worker, we have to agree on which technique we are using.
I'm not sure if Insert+F will give you information about the height of a
blank line. I never thought of using that command when I was dealing with
this problem.

2010?
In Word 2010, how does one make it so that there is a blank line between
paragraphs? (The default seems to be that - whatever adjustments you make to
line width, height, etc. - there isn't a blank line separating them (two
presses of the down-arrow key instead of just one like there was in previous
versions of Word [unless you changed that formatting]. Or, is that only
because that's how other people wrote their documents? (I'm quite new to
using Word 2010regularly.)

Hello Kevin,
Try Alt + p, SP.
This opens a window which has three tabs, Margins (the one you want), Paper
and Layout.
You can Ctrl + Tab between these three pages; you can use Tab to navigate
within each page.
HTH.

I read that in word only the menus have changed, but all the shortcut
keys remain the same. the problem is I really never knew the
shortcuts like the most common ones.
