Supressing space before at the top of a page
I am working with Word 2002 (Windows XP). I have a template with various
headings, and I've set space before and after for each heading. However, when the heading is on top of a page (following a page break), I want to surpress the space before. I used to be able to select this option but can't seem to find it now. Thanks! Suroor |

Supressing space before at the top of a page
In Tools | Options, you'll find the option on the Compatibility tab:
"Suppress Space Before after a hard page or column break." -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "suroora" wrote in message ... I am working with Word 2002 (Windows XP).

Tools, Options, Capability, check the three options for Suppress extra line
spacing at top of page and the "like Word 5.x for the Mac". -- Hope this helps DeanH "suroora" wrote: I am working with Word 2002 (Windows XP).

Supressing space before at the top of a page
Thanks Stefan and Dean! All three options to surpress space are checked, but
I still get a space before my heading. I have a section break just before it. I tried inserting a page break as well, just to see if it makes any difference, but it doesn't. Help!

Supressing space before at the top of a page
OK, the section break is the problem here. The compatibility option that I
mentioned only works for a paragraph preceded by a page (or column) break. If you always have a section break before the heading, what you can do is set the Spacing Before to zero for the heading. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "suroora" wrote in message ...

In addition to Stephan's comments, if you don't need a section break add the
paragraph attribute of Page Break Before and remove the space before. If the reason you are using section breaks is to have the Headers/Footers change for each new section you can use the StyleRef field instead to do the changes in the Headers/Footers for you and you wont need the Section Breaks.

Thanks again, Stefan and Dean. I'll just get rid of the space before for that
particular heading. "DeanH" wrote: In addition to Stephan's comments, if you don't need a section break add the paragraph attribute of Page Break Before and remove the space before.
