Please help with spacing in bulleted/numbered lists.
I hate to be a chronic complainer, but this is my second posting of this
problem and I hope that someone can help. I'm running Word from Office 2007 under Vista/64. If I create multiple paragraphs in Word 2007, format these paragraphs: Paragraph/Indents and Spacing/Spacing/After: 6points, the screen immediately shows the added space. Then if I turn these paragraphs into a bulletted or numbered list or an outline, the added spacing disappears. Turn off bulleting/numbering and the spaces come back. Now, if I generate this same list in Word 2003 on another computer and bring it over to the system with Word 2007, the spacing is proper; that is, the 6 points after hold true for bullets/numbers or not. What's more, if a second list is generated using Word 2007 in the same document (the one created with Word 2003), then the spacing specified by Word 2007 is just fine. I ask anyone here who is running Word 2007 to try this. Create a few one-line paragraphs, highlight them and specify 6 points after, then highlight again and bullet the paragraphs. Does the spacing 'stick'? Thank you! |

I found the problem. When you bullet or number a list, Word automatically
checks the box under paragraph formatting: "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style." This box has to be cleared manually each time.

You can avoid this by choosing to use Normal style for lists instead of the
List Paragraph style (there's an option for that somewhere) or by modifying the List Paragraph style not to have this property. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks, Suzanne,
I found it and fixed it, once and for all. Now... this begs the question: how do YOU feel about Word 2007 bynow? Hmmm? "Suzanne S.

Well, I'm still using Word 2003 for production work; I only venture into
Word 2007 to answer user questions or to write blog posts. g -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Jim Wood" wrote in message ...

Please help with spacing in bulleted/numbered lists.
The options were definitely grouped in a more logical way in the Options
dialog box of previous versions than they are now. For example, categories such as "Advanced" (to whom?) and "Popular" (with whom?) aren't at all helpful. On the other hand, most settings seem to be in the Advanced category, so if you are uncertain, that's the place to look. :-) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jim Wood" wrote: Thanks, Suzanne, I found it and fixed it, once and for all.

Yes, I confess I'm always surprised when something *isn't* in the Advanced
section, as that's where I go first by default. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...
