It sounds like you are using a blank "line" purely for spacing the numbered
paragraphs. The shift+Enter is actually entering a Manual line break.
Instead why not use the "Space after" function in Format Paragraph for the
style you are using. 6pt is usually adequate, 12pt could be OK but for some
documents can be too large. Once you have this set into the style, you can
forget about adding extra "lines" for spacing.
Hope this helps

Some time in the past I think I had the following setup for Word 2003 in
paragraph numbering. I like to have a single blank line between numbered
paragraphs and I thought there was a setting in Word that would allow this.

What I mean is I would start my paragraph numbering, finish the first
paragraph, then hold down the shift key, press enter, let go of the shift key
and press enter again. This would give me my second numbered paragraph with a
blank line in between. After this word would remember this and thereafter
automatically insert the blank line between each numbered paragraph without
me having to force it with the Shift-Enter-Enter combination.

Does anybody know how to turn this on, or am I making up something that does
not exist?

Thanks
