I think often that the blank line isn't what they want. One press of the
ENTER key tells Microsoft Word that it is to begin a new paragraph, and it
adjust the line and spacing between lines heights the text accordingly. One
would have thought however that a blank line between paragraphs would make
editing and drafting documents easier.

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.

2010?
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? (I'm quite new to
using Word 2010regularly.)

Hello Kevin,
Try Alt + p, SP.
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.

I read that in word only the menus have changed, but all the shortcut
keys remain the same. the problem is I really never knew the
shortcuts like the most common ones.
