Mike, You aren't doing anything wrong, you just are being bitten by the minor change we made in the ProWrite file format. On lines that were set to a fixed line height of 6 lpi in ProWrite 2.5 (rather than being "Auto" line height), they will come in at 3 lpi in ProWrite 3.0. Unfortunately, this little tid-bit was left out of the addendum. This change in the file format was necessary to make the "Fixed line height" feature in ProWrite 3.0 more flexible (without the change, we wouldn't have been able to support line heights that can be adjusted in one point (1/72 inch) increments. We felt this additional flexibility was worthwhile enough to make this slight change to the file format. The solution to the problem is (as you have found) to use ProWrite 3.0 to set the line heights for all the affected paragraphs to either "Auto" or "Fixed" at 6 lpi. Sorry for the inconvenience.
