How do I make spaces between verses? I try using the Enter key to make spaces, but when I save the work, the spaces aren't there.

I know I could space verses out by using lines of underscores or asterisks, but I really don't wanna look juvenile.

Just- how do I make spaces in the Publishing Center that stay?

Shift+enter at the same time makes a line break, do it twice and it's a stanza break. There's a way to do it in the html coding too, but that's the easiest.

How to Format Poetry
Formatting poetry #3

Here's some articles on different methods. I know it's annoying. Personally I use the method in the second article. A little more HTML than shift+enter, but I find it more reliable.
