Default Uploading Word 2007 documents to Google Documents

If the blank lines are actually empty paragraphs, they should be deleted
from the document (Edit Replace ^p^p with ^p) and the paragraphs should be
formatted with space after them to obtain the space between the paragraphs.
Using empty paragraphs as a way of providing space between text is a
carryover from the days of the typewriter.

Hello,

I have a Microsoft Word 2007 document where paragraphs
have been separated by one blank lines. These are proper
Microsoft Word paragraphs as can be seen by the
"backwards P" characters that separate them when
I click on the Show/Hide button under the Home tab
in Word 2007.

Now when I upload the Word document to Google Documents
(the service can be found at http://docs.google.com) then the
paragraph structure is preserved, but, alas, the blank lines
shown in Word separating them disappear.

Is there any known way of preventing this from happening.

Thanks,

John Goche
