I know how to set the style in Word 2007 so that Paragraphs have 12pt
spacing after. How do I prevent this from happening for lists? |

Are you referring to the "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same
style" option? -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne,
I have a long 250 page document that I have been working on for the past five years (memoirs). I have always pressed the enter key twice to provide the spacing. In the document, bulleted items, table of contents and the index are single spaced as desired. I hadn't thought about it until I read Herb Tyson's instruction in an earlier post. I made the changes, easily eliminated the extra paragraph entries, and it looked great. Whoa! My two page table of contents became four pages, and the 8 page, three column index became 15 pages. How can the style of these items differ regarding the 12pt space after paragraphs? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

My guess is that you were using Normal style for everything (or at least for
the body text). When you add Spacing After to Normal, the change trickles down to all the styles based on Normal (which is just about all of them); see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...esCascade.html. To avoid this, either leave Normal alone and use Body Text (formatted as desired) for body text (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...odyStyles.htm), or manually change the TOC and Index styles not to have Spacing After. Naturally, I would advise the former course. You will also need separate styles for bulleted items (I use the built-in List Bullet style, formatted as desired) and other paragraphs that are not straight body text. If you want to have space after the last bullet point but not between them, add the same space to the style as for Body Text, but check the box for "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style." -- Suzanne S.
