space before/after compatibility options
(Word 2003)
Hi. I'm aware of the compatibity options tab for controlling space before/after paragraphs but there are so many check boxes relating to this attribute (Word 5 for Mac, Word perfect 5 etc) that I can't seem to get the combination that works how I wish. namely: 1. suppress space before after ANY kind of page break, to give consistent top margins 2. don't ever add the space after & space before. Use only the largest of both values. which checkboxes to check to always get these results? and are these compatibility settings global or are they specific to document/template? Thanks -- MB. |

Compatibility settings are document-specific, and the ones you want a
[ ] Don't use HTML paragraph auto spacing. [X] Suppress Space Before after a hard page or column break. Space Before is automatically suppressed after natural page breaks. There is no provision for suppressing it after section breaks. The other Compatibility options have to do with extra line spacing (not Space Before); you can experiment with the effects of these, but unless you're using Multiple or Exact line spacing, this is not an issue. -- Suzanne S.
