I can make a 'style' which indents a paragraph say .03" left and right and say .08" above and below.

I call this 'text-indent' and when the authors in the volume have extended quotations, I can format them with a click on the style.

but in some cases the quotations themselves comprise two paragraphs. I don't want the two paragraphs separated from each other by .08". I was asking is there a way of making a style which separates two paragraphs from the surrounding text but not from each other. I suspect not.

   I have the same situation. What I have done is to define four
styles: 1) 'block quote' which has spacing above and below, 2) 'block
quote start' which has spacing above but not below, 3) 'block quote end'
which has spacing below but not above, and 4) 'block quote middle' with
spacing neither above nor below.
  Then I can use 'block quote' for single-paragraph quotations, combine
'block quote start' and 'block quote end' for two-paragraph quotations,
and combine 'block quote start', 'block quote middle' and 'block quote
end' for quotations with more paragraphs than two.

        Hope this helps,
