It's also possible that we're talking about different things. There are some
measurements in the Format Paragraph dialog that do show lines. I thought we
were discussing Space Before/After (points), but I could have lost track. In
the Line Spacing section, Exactly uses points, but Multiple uses lines.

Hi Suzanne,

But where do you change the default for this? Mine defaults to
points, and I don't see any way to change it to lines.

I just answered the OP that you cannot change the default...


I think Suzanne (and I!) wanted to know why some users have pts and other
Lines.... Where/How was this changed?

I occasionally get documents that are like that (they use lines). What
causes some documents to behave that way when the default is clearly set
to
points? I does not happen all that often, so I always put it down to "yet
another funny thing Word does"... There aren't that many anyway ;-) Is
this
a compatibility issue?
I think next time I get one like that I will save it and try to find the
difference between that one strange document and all other "regular"
documents... There is something going on there!
