Hi Mollye,
Just make sure that the paragraph which follows the text inset is not
empty (if possible).
If this option is not possible, for example, if the text inset is at
the end of your text flow, you can do this:
1. Put a new paragraph after the text inset.
2. In this paragraph, type

Hi Mollye
We have used unstructured insets and came across the same problem. As
far as I am aware, the only way to handle this problem is to avoid
consecutive insets. In our case, we ensure that insets represent an
entire section, and are always enclosed by heading tags. For example

There's a great little tool called BookInfo by Bruce Foster that does just
