Re: Numbering Style System Problem
Hi Octavee,
You probably use three styles to control the spacing?
There's an option to suppress the "space before/after" between paragraphs in
the same style (Modify style > Format > Paragraph).
Unfortunately, it's an all-or-nothing proposition.
So what I sometimes do is *not* check that option, but use a white border of
6 pt (the maximum allowed value) at the top and bottom in the list style.
Plus 3 pt both "space before" and "space after".
Word will suppress the border between paragraphs of the same style.
So that gives you 3 pt space between list paragraphs (since Word, by
default, uses the maximum of "space before" and "space after"), and 9 pt (6
pt border + 3 pt space) both before and after the list. Which looks pretty
cool <g>.
It's not a perfect solution though: Word will reserve the 6 pt space for the
border even at the top and bottom of pages. But I can live with that.
Greetings,
Klaus
