You need to use a different list style for the second column because Word
sees the list in the second column as a continuation of the List started in
the first column. Intuitively, it suppresses the Space Before because 'Don't
add space between paragraphs of the same style' is checked. So you need to
create a different List Style for Column 2, even though it will use
identical formatting.

That's the way lists work.

OK, thanks.

It's too bad the Word developers chose such an insipid, pedestrian,
thoughtless implementation. I would be surprised if one user in a
thousand would want lists to "continue" across the rows in a table.
