Depending on the particular document, i would like to have smaller increments
for BEFORE and AFTER paragraph spacing.

MSWord default spacing is 6 points either up or down. I would like to set
the default value to 3 points for finer control without typing in the desired
value.

Is there a way to configure MSWord for that??

Any help would be appreciated!! TIA

You can't change the default, but you can type in any amount you want (in
points or inches or any other unit of measurement).

You can set the Space Before and Space After values for one or more
styles (Format Style, select the style, click Modify, then click
Format Paragraph). Then every paragraph to which you assign that
style will have the same Space Before and Space After.

If different kinds of documents always need different values for the
same set of styles, create a separate template for each type of
document, set up its styles, and use that template in File New.
