Depending on the version of Word you are using (I think 97 and higher) by
default Word will only use the larger of the space before/after. So if say,
Body Text has 6 pts after and the following paragraph is a Heading style
with 12 pts before by default there won't be 18 pts of space in between, it
will be 12 pts which is the larger of the two.

The option that controls this behavior is a Compatibility option called
"Don't use HTML paragraph Auto spacing" so if you want the combined space
between then this option needs to be selected.
