TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
In this case, how about making the text in the intentionally blank
paragraph white? Particularly effective, I would think, if you inserted
some text in the Autonumber field of the Numbering tab on the Paragraph
Designer. Just make it read something like Intentionally Blank in white
text, just in case it does show up at some point (like during a
highlight all approach). This might provide the needed text requirement
but still leave the paragraph "blank".

Subject: RE: Paragraph Designer - Next Pgf Tag
This has been my experience, too. I find it terribly annoying because
I've designed my templates specifically with some paragraphs that are
blank.
Typing text into the paragraph makes the next paragraph feature work.
Leaving the paragraph empty simply repeats the current paragraph tag.
