When I place my text into InDesign from .docx I seem to lose the formatting of paragraphs. Some line breaks stay the way they are in Word, but others disappear.
Could I be missing something obvious?
I am placing text with import options set to these settings:
Interesting! Just to make sure I get this: is it the standard/correct way of setting up a text to press enter to change to a new line for each paragraph but not to have a blank line? And then I just need to set up my style so that it adds more spaces between lines when there is a break/paragraph break between them?
I have read quite a bit about InDesign but haven't seen this described.

To create a new paragraph, you have to press the return key. On a standard keyboard (the one with a numeric keypad) the enter key, which is on the numeric part of the keyboard, on the right, is used to either jump to a threaded text frame, if the text frames have only one column or to jump to the next column if the text frame has more than one column.

Not between lines of the same paragraph (well you can adjust this in the paragraph options, that's the leading), but between the different paragraphs.
