Double spacing in word 2007
In my thesis, I used double spacing between lines. However, the spacing is
actually divided into two regions, before and after the text. Normally, the spacing is actually below the text. In other words, my text is set to the middle in vertical direction, but it should be set to the top in the normal double spacing case. And it is really a trouble for my thesis. And the paragraph spacing (before and after) was set to 0 pt. I do not know how it happened. But does anyone have any idea how to fix the problem? Thanks so much. |

Maybe it is the line spacing - also adjustable in the FormatParagraph
dialog. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

In Page Setup Layout Vertical Alignment, change Center to Top.

Actually the original setting is "Top", but the problem remains.
And the "Page Setup Layout Vertical Alignment" determines the alignment of the text in the page, while not the text in the line. Thanks anyway.

Double spacing in word 2007
I'm not seeing any different behavior in Word 2007 than in previous versions
for actual Double spacing; what you describe is the default for Exactly spacing; for example, if you are using Exactly 24 points instead of Multiple, then you would see space both above and below the text line. There is a Compatibility Option, "Don't center 'exact line height' lines," that affects this. Checking that option will result in the extra leading being below the line as it is with multiple spacing. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks so much. You saved my life.
But where to find the Compatibility Option, "Don't center 'exact line height' lines,"? Thanks again. "Suzanne S.
