Description gyddru 2005-03-08 23:19:57 UTC 
Created a page of text made up of multiline paragraphs with no intervening 
blank lines. Selecting the whole document, the paragraph line-spacing property 
was set to Proportional.
When set to a value of 100%, the line spacing between paragraphs AND within 
the paragraphs was single.
When set to a value of 200%, the line spacing between paragraphs AND within 
the paragraphs was double.
When set to 50%, the line spacing within the paragraph dropped to half as 
expected, but the line spacing between the paragraphs remained at single.
Ie: the proportional line spacing property affects the inter-paragraph spacing 
when set to 200% but not when set to 50%.

MRU->FME: it does not seem to industry standard, that "half" line spacing is not
applied between paragraphs. At least one important competitor behaves
differently ;-)
Comment 3 Regina Henschel 2006-07-10 23:43:14 UTC 
Reducing to 50% is only a theoretical problem. But in pratice you will reduce
for example to 99%, so that one additional line will fit on the page. This seems
to be a little amount, but if you have checked "register-true" for your page,
you get a problem, because than the space between the paragraphs are increased
to an amount of a empty line because of this bug. Try it with the attached
document, check and uncheck "activate register-true" in the paragraph style.
