Set minimum spacing before/after paragraph
Ideally, I can specify space-before and space-after, and Word would
space two paragraphs apart according to the larger of: * Space-after for preceding paragraph * Space-before for succeeding paragraph This way, I get the following: * If I got (say) a bullet list after a heading 2, I get the (presumably larger) spacing after the heading 2. * If I got no spacing before/after normal body paragraphs, I still get extra bullet spacing before the first bullet and after the last bullet * If I got (say) a Heading 2 following a bullet, I still get the (presumably larger) spacing needed before the Heading 2.

I'm seeing it in the newsgroup (via google groups), and there have been no postings here in the last four days -- apparently Microsoft finally made good on their threat to sever their help assistance from the newsgroups available to the rest of the world.

But the two are not added. This seems like it would make much more sense than the current summing that is used. *For example, for a bullet style paragraph, I know how much space I need between bullets, which I can set as the space-before the bullet style. *However, the first bullet after a Heading 1 may need more space, as dictated by the space-after for the Heading 1 style. *I wouldn't want to add the two, because the space-before the first bullet is immaterial in this situation.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - |
