Hi Elliotte,

Thanks for the document, I can see that the end of one paragraph and the first
line of the next are not separated by double spacing when the "Don't add space
between paragraphs of the same style" option is ticked. However, if I untick
this, the paragraph spacing returns to double spaced as expected.

I still don't understand why this is a problem that is specific to LibreOffice
- it might well be, but it could also be the format to which GoogleDocs writes
out when saving as docx which causes this option to be set.

I created a double spaced document with four paragraphs, all of the same style,
in Word 15.9 for OSX, saved the file as docx, then re-opened that file in
LibreOffice 4412 - the document opened fine and the paragraphs were correctly
spaced. Note that Word, like LibreOffice, has an option to indicate that the
paragraphs not contain added space where the styles are the same.

My conclusion is that it appears that GoogleDocs is the culprit for adding that
option to the paragraph style formatting when you export to docx. By default,
Word does not do this. If the problem lies with GoogleDocs, there isn't much
LibreOffice can do about this.

I can not at present confirm the existence of a problem with LibreOffice in
this regard, for me that option does what it says, i.e. removes pacing between
the end of one paragraph and the beginning of the next, so it appears to work
as designed.
