Use Indents or Spacing, Not Both, to Separate Paragraphs

When using paragraph indents, don't use paragraph spacing to break up text. Although it is common to combine some types of paragraph spacing methods, these two together usually create too much or awkward spacing. However, there is an exception. Introductory paragraphs and paragraphs that follow subheads don't need indents even when indentation is used for the rest of the text.
