That's actually a very common default. The built-in Body Text style is
defined as Normal + 6 pts Spacing After. There are advantages to using space
after for body text styles; space after AND before for heading styles.

Agreed it is. But, just in passing, where would you ever need a space
after
a paragraph?

Consider me a new user after a stroke. I'm using Word 2007 and editing a
HUGE
document and am a typist rather than a mouse user. With this in mind you
can
see how knowing the Key Combinations for some very repetative actions
would
be much appreciated.
The ones I need are all in the paragraph section:
Add space after paragraph
Remove space after paragraph
Keep lines together
Keep with next
Hanging Indent
Thanks for you attention. This site is wonderful. Keep up the great
work.
