Hi Charlie,

The [sk1] code needs to go at the beginning of each and every PARAGRAPH where 
you want a blank line forced.

The alternative as I suggested, is to modify the document's "para." Style.  To 
do this, go the the Document Menu and Select Modify Style.  Move down to the 
"para." Style in the list, and click on the OK button.

You will now be able to edit the Style's Codes.  In the "Beginning Codes:" box, 
you will see "[p]".  Place your cursor to the right of this code.  Hold down 
the Alt key, and press left square bracket once.  A pair of square backets will 
appear with the cursor in the middle of them.  Type "sk1" (no quotes).  Click 
OK, and confirm you want to change the Style.

All being well, when you re-translate your document, paragraphs will have a 
blank line between them.

(This does of course assume that each paragraph does have the DBT [es~para] and 
[ee~para] codes there.)

This will be effective for that document only.

If you want ALL documents to have a blank line between paragraphs, you'll have 
to set up a new Template.  So have a coffee, and let me know if you need more 
help there.
