Suppressing space before a heading at top of page
I am creating a long document with a heading at the start of each
chapter. The header shows the current chapter, so I have a "section break (continuous)" before each chapter heading to provide for the different header text. The heading style includes space before, which is what I want when the heading appears mid-page, but I still get the space when the heading happens to appear at the top of a page. Is there any way of suppressing this, while retaining the header showing which is the current chapter? (The relevance of the header is that I can suppress the space by removing the section break, but then I lose the opportunity to have a different header.) I am using Microsoft Word 2002 (but could move to a newer version if that helped!) All advice gratefully received. |

Suppressing space before a heading at top of page
Unfortunately, no. It is a little odd to use a Continuous section break for
this purpose; ordinarily a Next Page break (at minimum) would be used. But in any case you can suppress the Space Before after a hard page or column break using the Compatibility Options settings, but not after a section break. -- Suzanne S.
