Now, though, all of my blank lines that are meant to be there (like between two scenes) are gone.
Any ideas on how I can get the purposeful blank lines back? Thanks for any suggestions.
(I don't know another way to get the indents to work, as I'm using LibreOffice Writer, not Word, and haven't been able to find the styles info that's available for Word about alternative indents for LibreOffice Writer.)

What I do for a section break is I use a 20% wide 2px line via <hr/> and CSS code. What you can do is put some word that's not in the book where your section breaks are and in the ePub editor, replace that with <hr/> and add in the CSS code and it will work perfectly. I have a 0.8em top/bottom margin around the line. It works perfectly. If you do this, it will not be an issue as it's not blank space. Also, blank space for a section break is no longer really used. Depending on how you do your space, it can get lost at the top/bottom of the page. Oh and after the section break, I have the next paragraph not indented.
