Anne,
Many thanks.
The vertical alignment is "Top" in all sections of Doc2.
The status bar indicates the vertical distance between paragraph
lines as:
Doc1 - 0.5 or 0.6 cm
Doc2 - 0.7 or 0.8 cm
This soon shows up after a few lines.
What could be causing this strange behaviour?
Geoff

Geoff: You sound like you're familiar with styles, so I won't
go there, but
check the Vertical alignment of Section 2, to be sure it's not
Centered.
Make it Top. This is found under File--Page setup, Layout
tab.

Word 2000:

I'm having trouble with layout when inserting Doc1 into
Section
2 of Doc2.

I have used styles in Doc1 for formatting headings and
paragraphs (which are outline-numbered). I have inserted
Doc1
into Doc2 (Section 2) and have imported the styles from Doc1
into Doc2 to ensure formatting is the same.

I have checked - the headings and paragraphs in Doc1 and
Doc2
use the same fonts, line-spacing and Space Before and Space
After. Also Page Setup is the same in both documents.

The one difference (I think is irrelevant) is Doc1 and Doc2
(Section 2) do not have a Header, but Doc2 does have a
Header in
Section 1.

Despite the apparent similarity of Doc1 and Doc2:

1. Doc2 (Section 2) is more spread out down the page, ie
there is more vertical distance between headings and
paragraphs
in Doc2 (Section2) than in Doc1.

2. Captions above pictures in Doc1 are below pictures in
Doc2. I know this happens when settings leave insufficient
distance between the picture anchor and the picture. So the
good Doc1 distance is too small in Doc2.

Something is stretching Doc2 downwards.
Any clues?

TIA
Geoff
