If you are using blank paragraphs for spacing between paragraphs it takes
away your flexibility in reformating. As mentioned, build the paragraph
spacing in the paragraph. That way changes down the line are very easy.
(this may be a bias for me since I am an itenerant tech writer, and never
now what "font fiddling" a customer may want)

If you are using blank paragraphs to start new pages, you are setting your
self up for trouble when text is added. You may now have pages beginning one
or two lines down the page. Use a page break (or better yet styles that
automatically start on a new page if it makes sense).

I don't know exactly what folks meant about corruption (I am a Word user, so
I certainly KNOW corruption in docs <g>) but I can imagine a document using
empty paragraghs for paragraph and page spacing could "look" very corrupt
after edits add or delete text.
