Hi, can anyone help why i am not seeing spaces in between paragraph when generating RTF file.

define style Styles.DQRpt;
parent = Styles.htmlblue;
/* parent = Styles.rtf; */
replace fonts /
'TitleFont' = ("Arial",10pt,Bold)

Hi,
How about adding ^{newline n} before a new paragraph like this?
p"Executive Summary"/ style=[fontsize=12pt font_weight=bold fontfamily=Arial just=Left ];
p"^{newline 1}As at &curr_mth."/ style=[fontsize=11pt fontfamily=Arial];
p"^{newline 2}Non Retail - Overall Assessment of Data Quality"/ style=[fontsize=11pt font_weight=bold fontfamily=Arial];
