no control over space after end of bulleted list (style:ListParagr
I am using Word 2007 to edit a large document. In it, I would like the first
and last elements in my bulleted lists - which are formatted with the List Paragraph style - to be well spaced from the rest of the text (what's above and below it, which is usually formatted with the Normal style). However, setting values for the Spacing Before and Spacing After parameters under List Paragraph|Modify Style|Format|Paragraph, only spaces the *first* element of the list from the preceding paragraph, and leaves the last element of the list unspaced from the following, Normal-styled paragraph. It's only if I use direct formatting on the last paragraph of the list that I get the desired result, i.e. if I select the last element of the list, go to Paragraph Settings and set the value for Spacing After parameter. As a debugging method, I created a new document and reproduced the scenario (Normal-styled paragraph, bulleted list, another Normal-styled paragraph) - everything is as it should be with the space after the list! What could be wrong with the settings in my document? Thanks for any help! PS: here's a screenshot demonstrating the situation, with paragraph marks enabled - http://www.badongo.com/pic/5386247 |

Place a checkmark in the box for "Don't add space between paragraphs of the
same style" -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
