It appears that if two consecutive paragraphs have space before and space
after settings, the space between them is the maximum of those two settings
rather than the sum of them.

I am trying to create a template for a contract and I am having
trouble with the line spacing before and after.

If the line spacing itself is single, and the font 10pt, shouldn't the
spacing before and after of 5pt each be exactly the same as 0pt before
and 10pt after?

My document is not turning out that way.

BTW: I do not have the box checked which reads: Don't add space
between paragraphs of the same style.
