Don't use empty paragraphs to create "blank lines." Instead add Space
Before/After the paragraph. An easy way to insert 12 pts Space Before (the
equivalent of a blank line) is to press Ctrl+0 (zero).

When using line numbering in a Word document, there is no option to
automatically omit line numbering from all blank lines. Is there a way?
Thanks.
