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.

I seem to remember a recent discussion that concluded the Next pgf tag
function only works properly when the previous pgf is not empty. Type
some text, then press Enter, and you get the correct Next pgf.
