How do I make the "before spacing" ignored on first line of page?
The text on top of a page should always be aligned, i.e. appear on the very
top of the main text box. However, if you have two pages where the first line is from a paragraph with different settings in "default spacing" (e.g. an H1 paragraph on top of page 1 and an H2 on page 2), the first line of the pages will not be vertically aligned. This is unacceptable from a typographical point of view. Is there a way of suppressing the "before spacing" setting for paragraphs for such paragraphs that start on the first line of a page so that the first lines are vertically aligned? If not, we should write a feature request to Microsoft, shouln't we? |

Yes. You will find several Suppress Spaces options under Compatibility
Options. If you cannot find them, let us know which version of Word you are using. Thanks. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Patrik Spieß" Patrik wrote in message ...

How do I make the "before spacing" ignored on first line of pa
Hello Terry,
Thanks for pointing me to the options. The options that did what I wanted was "Suppress Space Before after a hard page or column break". I find it a bit odd that these options are hidden behind "Advanced Compatibility Layout". Shouldn't that setting be the default? Best regards, Patrik "Terry Farrell" wrote: Yes.

How do I make the "before spacing" ignored on first line of page?
"Spacing before" will be suppressed but not for the first paragraph of a
Word section. You can work around this by specifying "Page break before" for Heading 1 and set its "Spacing before" to zero. Note that in order to suppress "Spacing before" on paragraphs following a manual page break, select the "Suppress Space Before after a hard page or column break" compatibility option. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Patrik Spieß" Patrik wrote in message ...

It does seem strange that the setting isn't default. But then so should the 'Do full justification like WordPerfect 6.x for windows'. But these options have been like this for so many version of Word that it would probably confuse more people than it would help! Terry "Patrik Spieß" wrote in message ...
