I go through this every month when writing the minutes for our Board of
Directors meetings in outline form. I use the outline feature (numbering) and
when I try to put a double space between, say, I and A, Word automatically
inserts II. As long as I ONLY single space, everything is OK. But who wants
to single space an outline? Normally I would want a double space between
outline levels but the actual text I single space. There's got to be a way to
put in a hard return without creating another Roman numeral or letter so that
my outline looks correct. I am using Word 2000, but I think this would apply
to any version.

Thanks,
Relztrah

From the Tools menu, select AutoCorrect and then go to the AutoFormat As You
Type tab and uncheck the Automatic numbered lists item.

Add some Space Before or After to your numbered style instead of trying to
use an empty paragraph as a "blank line."
