I recall how confusing that was to me when I first encountered it and how
grateful I was to whoever it was who pointed out the option. It was
introduced in Word 2000, I think, but I skipped from 97 to 2002, so by the
time I encountered it, plenty of people had learned how to deal with it!

Thank you so much, Suzanne! That was definitely the ticket. It was
driving
me crazy.

Word uses the larger value, not the sum.
There's an option setting to change that (Tools Options
Compatibility...
something about HTML spacing I think).
But I would just adapt my style definitions accordingly.
The default behaviour gives you a lot more possibilities to fine-tune
the
spacing between different style paragraphs.

I get Word 2003 documents from others in my company where one line of
text
(say, a heading) is suppose to have 6 pt line spacing above and 12
pt
line
spacing below. If there is a blank line above it, this shows 6 pts
above
and
12 pts below, but if I take the blank line out, where the paragraph
above
also has 12 pt line spacing below, the one line of text no longer
shows
the 6
pts above--in other words the spacing showing is 12 pts between the
one
line
of text and the paragraph above it, where it should be 18 pts total.
Anyone
have any idea how I can adjust these documents where this happens?
Thank you!
