I'm looking at an old Word template created long ago by someone no longer

in
our office. The paragraph/line spacing of the body is set to exactly 24pt
which creates a 12pt space above every line of text. However, when the

text
runs onto a second (or third or fourth...) page, the formatting remains

24pt
and yet Word ignores the space for the first line on the page and butts

the
text right up against the header margin as if it were 12pt spacing. All
subsequent lines on the page show up with the 24pt spacing. The question

is,
how can I duplicate this magical phenomenon in a newly created document?

Thanks,
Michael
