Re: How to change paragraph spacing of Standard paragraph style in UI only?
Confirmed! Thanks Riki! I removed the CopyStyle and it changed nothing. And like you said, I had long ago removed the ex unit so it was 5, not 5ex. And by the way, I settled on 0.7, not 5, because 5 would have been ridiculous. Thanks for your help.

If the style already exists, then it is modified rather than re-defined. CopyStyle is useful when you want to mostly mimic some other style. ParSep here is just given as a float, and it's treated (I think) as a multiple of the line height. So try something like "ParSep 2". You might also want to give ParSkip, which works the same way, but applies to the distance between Standard paragraphs and ones of other layout types. ParSep, on the other hand, applies to paragraphs of the same type. See Help> Customization, section 5.3.7.

How to change paragraph spacing of Standard paragraph style in UI only?
Hi all, I think I knew this once, but long since forgot. For the style of readability optimal for me, I need paragraphs of Standard paragraph style to be both indented and separated, *in the LyX User Interface*. I tried doing it in my existing layout file, like this: Style Standard CopyStyle Standard ParSep -5ex End Is the preceding correct? It did the right thing in the UI while leaving the PDF unchanged. Was the use of CopyStyle necessary or even correct? Is there a better way to do it?

Perhaps using '0ex \@plus1ex' instead of '0ex' would be better.
