Re: [libreoffice-users] double-spacing within an outline

I do have 'block outline' specified as next style. So something else is 
happening.

Probably you and Philip Jackson are right that the "correct" thing is to 
have two different styles.

I've also experimented with including space beneath the paragraph in the 
style def and then using the soft return (shift-return) option when I 
didn't want the extra space.

Still, it would be most convenient if 'two enters' didn't kick me out of 
the style. The other work-arounds all involve extra steps, especially 
when I want the flexibility within a given document.

Thanks for the inputs.
