But note that it *is* possible to specify lines even for Space
Before/Space After, which I discovered by accident in Word 2000. For
example, if you type "2 line" (yes, it shouldn't be plural) in the
"Space Before" box, you'll get 2 lines (or 24 pt) of paragraph spacing
above.

Well, as pointed out, some of the Line Spacing settings are in lines
and
some in points (by their nature).

Hi Jean-Guy,

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

Yes, that it was I thought as well!

OK, I just went back and read the original question again. The OP
starts
by saying paragraph spacing, but then later specifies
Format/Paragraph/Line Spacing. So things seem to be consistent to
me?
