Hello,

Please see this screenshot :

 

I have set only the upper paragraph rule, so the upper paragraph rule displays at the top and I have no bottom paragraph rule. But then, if I click at the bottom of the text and make several times the return key, it appears several bottom paragraph rule. Why ?

If I press on return key at the bottom I would like to see no bottom paragraph rule.

In the case of my last screenshot, in the first paragraph with upper/bottom rule : at the bottom of this paragraph, before the bottom rule, how to add space ?

Here:

Since the rule below will move down, don't forget to add a space after this paragraph. And if you want to apply these settings to other paragraphs, create paragraph styles.

Never use multiple paragraph returns to get space. NEVER. It will avoid you to get this kind of issues. Use space after or space before.
