A different approach (which doesn't rely on suppressing spacing
between paragraphs of the same style) is the following: For the
bulleted list, define Spacing Before (say 12 pt as in your example).
Set Spacing After to zero. For the paragraph after the list, apply a
"Body Text First" style (or whatever you'd like to call it) with a
larger Spacing Before defined. If you are using a first line indent to
indicate a new paragraph, you probably already have such a style,
namely the one you use below headings.
