How can I set a paragraph spacing default?

[ylp]

I am trying to set .6 spacing after all of my paragraphs as a default (so
that I don't have to do it each time I open a new document.) Can anyone give
me a clue how to do this. Setting a font default was easy and
straightforward -- but paragraph spacing doesn't seem to have that as an
option.

I would strongly advise you *not* to so format the Normal style, which is
what you are suggesting doing. Instead, open Normal.dot and replace the
default Normal paragraph with one in Body Text, which has 6 points Space
After as a default. See
