There's an easy way to set the spacing for just one (or more) paragraphs without using styles.
To change the space between just 2 paragraphs do:
1. At the end of the above paragraph hold SHIFT down and press ENTER.
2. This gets you just a new line. Put a single space in it.
3. Highlight from the END of the TOP paragraph to the beginning of the LOWER paragraph. In properties reduce (or increase) the font size for the selected text.
4. In properties click on Auto Linespacing. You will see the spacing change.
That's it. HTH,
