When writing a document in SW...

If the document is created in landscape mode, I think paragraph breaks 
could be done much like it is with horizontal writing ... just insert a 
little extra space horizontally.  Another possibility we could borrow 
from English writing is the use of indentation to represent paragraph 
breaks.

Another thought that occurred to me is using something like a short 
thin line drawn vertically by itself to the left upper corner of the 
beginning of the paragraph. That could visually indicate a start of 
paragraph. If it is always written flush with the top margin, that 
could be sufficient to mark the paragraph. Maybe Valerie has something 
else.

Just my brainstorms.
