A few days ago I asked how, in the OO worldview, one should properly separate paragraphs ("Newline between paragraphs" - the answer was No). After thinking about the consequences, I followed with a thread ("Line break and justification withing paragraph?"} that tried to ask a practical question [that is holding up a paper I'm writing]. That question received no answers, probably because I (a) asked it poorly and (b) embedded it in a (verbose) question about design philosophy. May I try again? [My paper is waiting. ;-)]

This is a common issue, seen all the time, especially in procedural documents like service manuals: A paragraph with an embedded list. The first few sentences of the paragraph describe the list, and then the elements are listed. One would like to treat this, spatially and conceptually, as a single paragraph.

For such purposes Writer provides the intra-paragraph line break (Shift+Enter), which breaks the line without invoking the inter-paragraph spacing. But there is (at least) one problem: It can't be used with "Justified" paragraph alignment. How can this be handled?
