Space Before a Paragraph at the Start of a page
Is there any way to set up word such that it will not add space before
a paragraph at the top of a page? I would like a heading to have space above to separate it from the text. However, this space is unnecessary when the heading occurs at the start of a page and looks funny not starting at the top of the page. |

Word does it for subsequent pages but not, apparently, the first. |

Tools, Options, Compatibility tab (or Word Options, Advanced, Compatibility)
and select the required Suppress Space options. This will suppress the extra space following page breaks but not following section breaks, so the space at the top of the first page will not be suppressed. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP wrote in message ...

Format the style that you are using for the text paragraphs so that it has a
space after it. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Space Before a Paragraph at the Start of a page
If a heading level always starts a new page, you can use page break before
in the style setting. If not (& for my jobs they usually do not), I don't think there's a way to do it automatically in Word. I just manually adjust the first heading.

I do the same, but often in long documents I *want* a long drop before the
first heading (in a chapter/section). In shorter documents, my first Heading 1 is rarely the first paragraph; there's usually a Title (and often a Subtitle) preceding, and I have that style formatted to take the Space Before of the heading into account. -- Suzanne S.
