I'm also an author and never thought about how a sighted writer gets a blank line. Obviously I work alone. If the wanted result is the blank line what difference does it make how you get it?

As a screen reader user, I prefer to use the technique of pressing the Enter key twice to place a blank line between paragraphs. However, sighted people like to adjust the paragraph settings. This drives me crazy as the only way that I have been able to figure out that they used this approach was to dig through the paragraph settings. So when I am co-authoring a document with a sighted co-worker, we have to agree on which technique we are using. I'm not sure if Insert+F will give you information about the height of a blank line. I never thought of using that command when I was dealing with this problem.

In Word 2010, how does one make it so that there is a blank line between paragraphs? (The default seems to be that - whatever adjustments you make to line width, height, etc. - there isn't a blank line separating them (two presses of the down-arrow key instead of just one like there was in previous versions of Word [unless you changed that formatting]. Or, is that only because that's how other people wrote their documents?

This opens a window which has three tabs, Margins (the one you want), Paper and Layout. You can Ctrl + Tab between these three pages; you can use Tab to navigate within each page. HTH.
