select Arial as Roman font and compile your document with XeTeX or

I'm also curious how this happens, but my guess is that this is
controlled by \usepackage[titles]{tocloft}. Look into the options of
that package.

It depends what you want to do. If you need to have paragraphs always
separated by a new line, then follow Günter's suggestion: you will see
teh result in the PDF output. Otherwise, LaTeX ignores extraneous
spaces between paragraphs: see section 5.2 of LyX Essentials. [1]

When in need to change formatting using LaTeX code, open a new
document, write some dummy text 'asdf', format it as you wish, do View

I'm not sure. I'm wondering myself.

PS Please turn off the HTML formatting. Some people around here do not
appreciate it.
