Agreed. And if the text is double-spaced (as it often is in manuscripts)
then I increase the Spacing Before to 24 points and remove the Spacing
After. I should add that by "double-spaced," I mean, with Exact line spacing
of, say, 24 points, not using Word's "double" spacing. There is a difference
in where the extra space is added; Exact line spacing add the space above
the text, multiple spacing below. If I were actually double-spacing, I guess
I'd set 18 and 6?

This is a question for a graphic designer, not a question about Word.
But, as a reader, I certainly expect a heading (not header) to be
closer to what it introduces than to the text in the previous section
above it.

Hello,
We are implementing new styles into our firm. My question is about the
Header Styles (1,2, etc)
What is the concept with these styles having 12 pt before and 3 pt after?
Would you not want it the other way?
We are creating some firm header styles and wonder if I should use the
same
paragraph spacing.
Thanks
