For separating of items in a list, use is Enumitem LyX module. It makes use of package enumitem. Now insert the LaTeX code for configuration of the list-item-separting space in Document>Settings>LaTeX preamble. Read ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/enumitem/enumitem.pdf for details. For separating paragraphs by vertical space instead of indent, use the package parskip. (\usepackage{parskip} in the LaTeX preamble). Günter
