Thank you both for your replies.

I'm already very familiar with styles, which is why I'm finding this particular problem so irritating.

I have attached screenshots of my style list, as well as the Paragraph settings of my first two custom bullet styles. As you can see, the line spacing for both is set to 0pt Before, 8pt After.







When I select the "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" option, bullets of the same style are set to 0pt After, as expected.

What I really want to do is set the spacing for all the styles as 12pt After, but have 8pt After for paragraphs of the same style.

However, at this point is seems my only options are to have the same amount of space between like styles as between unlike styles, or NO space between paragraphs of the same style. Surely this can't be the case.

I know how styles work; my question is, which style setting needs to be altered in order to achieve what I'm doing?
