Keep spacing the same after header for both headings & paragraphs
I have headings defined with 12 points above. If page breaking before a
heading, the heading starts lower down on the page than if page breaking before a regular line of text. Is there a way to control this so that both headings and normal lines of text appear the same distance below the page header when starting a new page? |

Keep spacing the same after header for both headings & paragraphs
Word suppresses Space Before after natural page breaks, so I have to assume
you're inserting either a manual page break or a section break or you have formatted the paragraph as "Page break before." If you have made "Page break before" part of the style, then you can omit the Space Before from the style. If it's applied as direct formatting, then you'll also have to remove the Space Before as direct formatting. If you've inserted a manual page break, you may be able to work around it by using a combination of "Keep with next" and "Keep lines together" in the paragraphs you want to go to the next page. It's generally best to avoid manual page breaks insofar as possible. There is a compatibility option (in some versions of Word) to "Suppress Space Before after a hard page or column break." This should be used only as a last resort. Also, it doesn't affect section breaks. But if you have a large enough break to need a section break, then you also have a heading that either deserves a lot of Space Before (as at the beginning of a book chapter) or you have a heading that always occurs at the beginning of a section and consequently could be defined to have no Space Before. -- Suzanne S.
