I should have said "within a paragraph." -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Lisle, Ted (CHFS DMS) Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2015 8:04 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Making blank lines appear between paragraphsin Word 2010?
I wouldn't think of going without those paragraph marks. As I'm sure most of you know, one can also have blank lines with a paragraph by doing a ctrl-enter, although I've never understood why anyone would want to do that.

The difference is that when you use multiple presses of the enter key, you can have stranded blank lines at the top of pages, which makes the text look bad. The proper way is to set the Before or After spacing in the paragraph dialogue box. Word will automatically put extra white space between paragraphs. The best way I find to know when a paragraph change has occured is to turn on paragraph marks and also use paragraph navigation commands.

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? -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Annette Carr Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2015 7:34 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Making blank lines appear between paragraphs in Word 2010? 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?
