Default Line spacing issue in Word 2010

There's yet another pet peeve. Why aren't there pop-up explanations of
the dozens of "Advanced" settings in Word Options? How is "Don't use
HTML paragraph spacing" supposed to mean "Add together Before/After
spacing"?

If the issue is that only the larger of the Before/After settings is being
honored (instead of the two being added together), then you need to enable
the Compatibility Option "Don't use HTML paragraph auto spacing." Find the
Compatibility Options at the very bottom of the advanced tab of File |
Options.

I'm reformatting a large document that has been edited so many times that it
has become convoluted, style-wise. In doing this I am editing the styles for
the headers, and part of this is fixing the Before and After paragraph line
spacing.

The headers have both Before and After line spacing settings (I.E., Befo
6pts After: 12pts), but for some reason unless I have the Before setting set
18pts or higher, it doesn't show any difference in the spacing.

I compared it to the older document, and the paragraph settings (indents,
line spacing, etc) are identical between the two for headers and "normal"
styles.

The original document was written in Word 2003 and edited throughout the
years in 2007 and 2010.

Any suggestions?
