Paragraph space after is sometimes defined in lines, not points--w
When choosing Format--Paragraphs in order to adjust the space after a
paragraph, I've been surprised that certain paragraphs in my documents list the space after in lines, not in points. So while most paragraphs will have "6 pts" in the box (for example), a few say "1.2 line." This is all happening in the same document. I need to be able to control the space after these paragraphs in points. Short of typing in VBA code into the Immediate window of the VBA editor, what can I do? Why is this happening? I'm using Word XP (aka 2002), SP3, if that's helpful. Thanks in advance! |

You can change the unit of measurement by typing it in the Spacing
Before or After boxes. For example, to enter 6 points, just type "6 pt" and press Enter. You'd better change the relevant paragraph style(s) directly; that way, the modification will definitely be retained. The "line" setting is language-specific (probably for one or more Asian languages). It is used to set the spacing before or after in terms of gridlines (in VBA, there are corresponding properties called LineUnitBefore and LineUnitAfter). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Benjamino5" wrote in message ...

Clarification: Note that if you change style(s), you may have to
select the text and press Ctrl+Q to remove any remaining direct paragraph formatting. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...
