changing line space, shrinks the drawings
I have to change the spacing for "Normal" style due to publisher requirement.
from 12 pt single to exactly 12pt, to decrease the white space between lines. By this change, drwaings become shorten so much that they are almost invisible. How can solve this problem? -- Rasoul Khoshravan Azar Civil Engineer, Osaka, Japan changing line space, shrinks the drawings |

Word will increase the size when it encounters a character which it judges would not fit otherwise, and your supposedly inline pictures are treated as such.

Thanks. It was exactly as you told. It solved my problem.
I understanf the difference between "at least" and "exact". Could you please tell me when shall we use Exact? -- Rasoul Khoshravan Azar Civil Engineer, Osaka, Japan "Robert M.

I use exact almost exclusively for normal/bodytext styles, and "at least" for a unique inline-picture style. When the documents you are preparing templates for have different font heights or special symbol characters in a larger paragraph, it's not always clear which of the two solutions works better.

"At least" spacing will not accomplish what the publisher wants, which is to
reduce the leading, since 12 pt type will end up with 14+-pt line spacing. But the Exact line spacing should be used for Body Text only. Headings (which are in a larger font size) and pictures should use different styles that are differently defined. The style for pictures should be set to Single line spacing to allow the picture to define its own height. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for your reply. Have a question regarding your reply.
"At least" spacing will not accomplish what the publisher wants, which is to reduce the leading, since 12 pt type will end up with 14+-pt line spacing. But the Exact line spacing should be used for Body Text only. Body text: I am using "normal" style for normal text which I suppose is the default and I am not using "Body text" style. Are they show same result in line space? Headings (which are in a larger font size) and pictures should use different styles that are differently defined. The style for pictures should be set to Single line spacing to allow the picture to define its own height. Does this mean that it is better to define a new style for pictures. I use "Normal" style for them and set "In line with text" in paragraph. when I changed the space for normal to 12, pictures shrinked so I changed the space to atleast for normal style for pictures and exactly for texts and it was solved. Isn't this a good way? |

I doubt a serious publisher would want 12/12 (font size/leading), so I did not interpret the OP like that. Who knows ... :-) Body text: I am using "normal" style for normal text which I suppose is the default and I am not using "Body text" style. Are they show same result in line space? It doesn't matter whether "Normal" or "Body text" is your "bread and butter" style (there are pros and cons in using either, personally I tend to use the latter). The paragraph settings in them will have the same effect. (which are in a larger font size) and pictures should use different styles that are differently defined.

Isn't this a good way? Well, it's using direct formatting, or: the same style for different things -- which means: no, it's not a good way in a longer/structured document. It's probably best if you create a picture style, set the leading to "at least" there, and to "exact" for "Normal". What is your current font size?

It is 10 pt Times New Roman. It is not easy to read it, very dense, but this
is what they have asked me. -- Rasoul Khoshravan Azar Civil Engineer, Osaka, Japan "Robert M.

The default line spacing for 10-pt TNR is 12 points, so that's okay. I would
tend to avoid the use of Normal style for anything (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...odyStyles.htm), but in my previous post I should have written "body text" rather than "Body Text," i.e., the regular document text as opposed to headings, pictures, etc. I would advise having a separate style for any formatting you use more than once or twice, and this would include pictures. Whether the picture style is formatted as Single (Auto) or "At least" doesn't really matter, as it will expand as needed for the picture height. -- Suzanne S.
