Stop "space before" appeaing after a manual page break?
I have set up a Heading 2 style which uses spacing 25 points before, 10 after.
If the heading appears on a new page following an automatic page break, the space before does not appear, but if I insert a manual page break I end up with an ugly 25 point gap at the top of the page. How can I stop this from appearing after a manual page break? Product is Word 2002 SP3. |

Hi Fletch,
Go to Tools|Options|Compatibility, and check 'Suppress Space Before after a hard page or column break'. Cheers -- macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Fletch" wrote in message ...

Thanks macropod,
This has been annoying me for a long time, but after coming up with some form of workaround I have not followed up. This time I did, and your help is much appreciated!

Another (and better) solution is to avoid manual page breaks by using a
combination of "Keep with next" and "Keep lines together" to force the heading and its following text onto the next page naturally. -- Suzanne S.
