I am formatting a play in InDesign CC and having problems. When I close-up one line it throws others off.

Here's an example. Superman's dialogue should be separated from the line for Martinez above it.  When I separate the lines, it throws other lines off on other pages. So when I fix these problems, it just creates others.

MARTINEZ

Why forced?

SUPERMAN

The paper was bought by Rupert Murdoch.

MARTINEZ

And now?

    When I use the return key the spacing becomes correct, but then other lines are thrown off.  I will try creating a new paragraph style.

    I was thinking I might try turning off "allow shuffle"  ?

    Thanks for your help.

    Moved your question to InDesign for the Lounge is not where you will receive technical help. If you do not receive any help here please let us know and we will move to another forum.

    OK, sorry Kat. Thank you for moving it. Do I need to do anything else?
