I have tried and tried to create a shortcut or style that will, with the cursor in that line, add a 0.0625″ space after that line. Whatever I have created also takes on the characteristics of the text below. That’s not what I want—I simply want a 0.0625″ space after a header, for example, or to separate an example from an exercise (in a textbook-type job).
Bottom line—how can I just add this 0.0625″ space after without having to go to the menu, select Space After, and insert the specific spacing. HELP!
I know it’s got to be easy, but darned if I can figure it out!

Are you trying to make a separate style just for space above or below?
I put the space into my main style sheets.
For example, a header (HA) might have 18 points above and six points above.
An extract will have a line space above and below.
I set them up in my main style sheets.
I have no idea why what you’re doing is causing it take on the characterics of the text below. And so far as I know, you can’t create a style or shortcut to add space the way you want.
On option (though I would never use it), is to create a style that is blank except for (in your case) leading of 0.0625″. Then you type in a hard return below that head apply that style to it.
But, like I said, I would never do that–though I have seen some designe files where they’ve done it. I immediately change the stylesheets to fix that problem.
