Help! Paragraph Separation Error won't go away

[rnhaas]

Hello all,
So I have been struggling with this 'paragraph separation error' for what feels like months now. I have gone 'nuclear', pasted my entire book into a text editor and reformatted the entire thing. There is not a single indent in the entire file. Not a one. And yet I am still getting the same error. I have no idea what to do. So I have two questions:

1) Is there any way to search for an indent? Perhaps I've missed the indent when reading through the book. Perhaps I accidentally hit tab without knowing it.

2) Does anyone know any other cause for this error?

Thanks!

What likely has happened is you combined both the space after paragraphing and tabbing. Make sure all numbers are set to zero. All except your tab which you will probably have set for .3 tab size.

It does not matter what you do in the document if your default is set with space following each paragraph. By changing it to zero you are sticking with a tab as your paragraph identifier.

If you don't want a tab... Set that to zero and change the space after paragraph to 8. But do not combined these two methods of identifying paragraphing. Confusing? Yes. Some member may have a better solution.

Thanks. I probably forgot to do that part.

All indents are set to 0.
