[SOLVED] Outline with Spaces between paragraphs
I would like my outlines to have a space before each new number/character. I can do it manually, but does anyone know a way to set up the outline to automatically insert a carriage return before each outline heading? Also when you edit an outline, how do you save it for future use?

Can you upload a small ODF type sample file here?

Re: Outline with Spaces
Here is a file with an outline. Each numeral follows after the prior line, unless I type a few characters after the new numeral, then go to the previous line and press return to insert another numeral in between the last 2, then backspace to remove the un-needed numeral. I can do it, but its cumbersom. I have done that on this file, but if you type a return after the last line, the next numeral is on the very next line.

Re: Outline with Spaces
The easiest way to do this is set the paragraph line spacing to double
See the Format menu / paragraphs dialog / indents and spacing
Alternatively you could change the Spacing above the paragraph.
You can either select all the paragraphs and apply the line spacing to them all or (better) create a style which has double line spacing and make those paragraphs that paragraph style.

Hitting ENTER starts a new numbered paragraph. If you want to insert a blank line before starting a new numbered paragraph, hit SHIFT+ENTER to start a new line, then ENTER to start a new numbered paragraph.

Re: Outline with Spaces
Thanks Folks. Ilike JeJe's suggestion to put a space above the paragraph. That works, but I didn't want the double spacing within the paragraph. So the space above does the job. Bill's method also works nicely. Press shift-return to go the next line, then press return and the next para number is inserted. Both methods do what I want
Thank You. Problem Solved.

In my opinion it is a better solution to use a custom paragraph style with increased before/after spacing for the desired part of the document - instead of the usage of the Enters/Shift-Enters.

Re: [SOLVED] Outline with Spaces between paragraphs
You are probably right, Tibor, but I have not gotten the skills for that yet. Can you suggest a tutorial?
