Hi, Firstly, thanks for all the replies about my blank page question. That is all working nicely, however, I am now stuck trying to get writer to insert a blank line before a paragraph. It is important it is *exactly* a line as otherwise the baseline of the text on the opposite page won't line up. Using 'spacing above paragraph' and trial and error I can get very close to adding a line, but if the font or font size changes this will break. Even a formula for working out the 'spacing above paragraph' would be a massive help (I've tried just using the point size of the font but this doesn't work :( ) or perhaps there is a 'snap to baseline' option somewhere? In case you're wondering why I don't just hit return to get my extra line, I am trying to create master copies of my books using LO so that I can use export to PDF for the print version and export to xhtml for the ebook formats. For this to work all the layout needs to be done using styles.
