Can you help me?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: If you are looking for a break between point of view within a chapter, research the publishing company to whom you are planning to submit. Some publishing houses use ***. Some use 2 double spaced gaps. If, however, you are changing scenes completely, a new chapter might be a good idea.

Publishing houses, with the exception of some online publisher, require your manuscript to be typed in double space for ease of editing.

If you are not writing for a publishing house, then the previous answer of enter then tab is correct.
