vertical paragraph alignment across columns
Hi. I've been doing a lot of work in Word '03 in pages divided
into two columns. They are not Tables, per se, just a two-column page format. The problem I often have is that assigning paragraph styles with different before and after spacing will send paragraphs across the columns out of verical alignment. Let me try to illustrate: Column One Column Two Heading 3 style para Heading 3 style para normal style normal style -----column break--- ------Page break-------- That exaggerates the problem, because it's usually only part of a line's height out of alignment, but such are the limits of plain text. The problem seems to be due to Word's insistence on assigning the paragraph style of the first line, second column to the break immediately proceeding it. Thus, the column break in column one above is given the Heading 3 style, pushing the first line, second column downward. If I manually remove that H3 assignment from the break, it's taken off the ensuing line as well. So I'm stuck. I've even tried "Don't add space between paras of same style" for H3, but to no avail. Surely there must be some way to ensure vertical paragraph alignment across columns? I'm confounded why Word would attach the H3 designation to the prior break. Thanks, p. |
