Format columns
Why doesn't the text on the top of column 2 align with column one? It's not
even, text on top of column 2 is a bit higher compared to the text on top of column 1. This only occurs if I remove a column break from the bottom of coulmn one. If I leave the column break in then the text on the top of both columns align evenly again??? |

If you need them to line up, use tables.

Your paragraph is formatted with Space Before, which is suppressed after a
"soft" page or column break but not after a manual one. You can remove the "Space Before" from the first paragraph in column 1. -- Suzanne S.

I see. It's almost as if the space before attribute for the paragraph is
doubled when there is a coulm break or page break. We currently have all of our styles with a 4 pt space before. If I set all the styles in the document to 0 space before then all is good and eveything lines up evenly....of course when I give it a number to work with greater then zero that's when the text spacing issue comes into play with page\column breaks. I think this helped, thanks a lot! "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Your paragraph is formatted with Space Before, which is suppressed after a "soft" page or column break but not after a manual one.

Space Before is (by default) suppressed at the top of a page or a column but
retained after section breaks and manual page and column breaks. There is a Compatibility Option to suppress Space Before after hard page and column breaks, but this does not affect section breaks, so it wouldn't help you. -- Suzanne S.
