[XXE] paragraph preservation

[Lisa Girard]

When I cut-and-paste text from a Word document into a DocBook 
template the paragraphs are collapsed. I know DocBook isn't good with 
physical structure, but is there any way to keep the 
paragraphs/spaces in? I'm not sure if this problem has been addressed 
earlier in your configuration questions "setting whitespace". If so, 
is there another way you could explain it? I wasn't able to make the 
modifications suggested.
Thanks!-Lisa
