I've tried this idea, as I think it's easier to manage than burying the codes in a regular tag, since it's clearly visible. The problem is that it produces a period to terminate
the "empty" sentence, which appears at the start of the new paragraph. You have to manually remove that in the word processor. So until that's fixed in a future upgrade (he says
hopefully) I've created some "new paragraph" versions of common tags. For example, I have a Note NP tag, which has the new paragraph codes [:CR:][:TAB:] at the beginning of the
sentence.
