Word 2000 document from Japan with strange vertical font size
http://rapidshare.de/files/27673146/..._size.doc.html
A document we received that from a japanese client has strange vertical spacing. I have replaced the data with dummy text but even restoring paragraphs to normal does not change the space left. The letters are normal sized, but there is enough space made for the letters to be much larger. It is as if single spacing produces 1.5 spacing on screen and when printed. I am curious about whether this can be turned on and off, and whether it is possible for one paragraph in a document to have this spacing while another does not. To use rapidshare, click on the link, then click the button that says "free". The file is a 21k Word file with no macros and four paragraphs of =rand() but the spacing is strange as described above. |

Word 2000 document from Japan with strange vertical font size
My advice would have been to check the Compatibility Options for anything
that looks Asian or just to reset the Compatibility to Word 2003 (or whatever version you have). But I have looked at the document, and I confess I'm stumped. Neither of these tricks made any difference. There is absolutely nothing bizarre about the formatting (at least not as far as Reveal Formatting shows). Courier New is being substituted for Courier, but even if you Ctrl+Q and Ctrl+Spacebar to reset the paragraph and font format (which turns into into TNR 12), the line spacing doesn't change. And vertical alignment is set to Top, so that's not the issue, either. -- Suzanne S.

Word 2000 document from Japan with strange vertical font size
Thanks for looking. What we ended up doing is using exact paragraph
spacing. I can only guess that the problem is because the job was worked on in a location that used a different alphabet (Japanese) than the US. I'm just curious how to get it back and how it was done in the first place. Suzanne S.

Well, of course all kind of FarEast stuff is set for the document, and the paragraphs in the document. I just started going through the available lists for the document, then the Paragraph object in VBA, turning things off. The line spacing finally "collapsed" when I did this: ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).DisableLineHeightGrid = true But it's not said that this, alone, will do the job. It could be that something else I turned off prior to that point is required, as well. If you're curious and want to play with it, I worked my way through the two lists alphabetically. If one has the FarEast support and IMEs installed, some/much of this might be available in those user interfaces that we don't see. I suggest, if you want to pursue this, to post in the word.international.features newsgroup.

Thanks.
Off to word.international.features I go. I can also verify that changing ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).DisableLineHeightGrid = false alone will correct the issue.
