The default should be the reverse; Space Before is suppressed after
automatic ("soft") page and column breaks but retained after manual page and
column breaks and all section breaks. This can be changed for page and
column breaks by changing one of the Compatibility Options, but the space is
always retained after a section break. It is possible that the behavior is
different if you have HTML paragraph spacing enabled.

I have a Header 1 style that has 56 pt blank space before and 102 pt blank
space after. It works fine EXCEPT when there is a section break before.
Then it only has space after and NO space before.
Why does this happen and can I fix it?
Thank you,
Heidi
