One addition to Suzanne's remarks is that you do not want to routinely be
using manual page breaks. They will cause problems. Instead format the first
paragraph of the new page to have paragraph formatting of page break before.

I think I know the answer to this, but just want to make sure...

Word Version 2003/SP2.

I am familiar with the Paragraph formatting dialog, in particular the
Space Before and Space After settings.

What I would like is a way to eliminate "Space Before" for the first
paragraph on every page. This is particularly an issue for headings where
I tend to use larger Space Before values.

I'm not sure exactly how the "Auto" setting in the spacing parameter
works, but it still inserts spacing at the top of the page.

This could be a "wish list" item for a later version.

Perhaps there is a VBA script to do this? To be truly useful, it would
have to restore the Space Before value to a paragraph if it was removed
once, being at the top of a page, and later reformatted away from the top
of page.

Your thoughts appreciated
