Hi T, No, unless you add a space to the header or check the 'Page break before' i= n your Paragraph/Line and Page Breaks attributes, Word doesn't set the spac= ing... bummer. Cheers, YOP Mike -----Original Message----- From: austechwriter-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:austechwriter-bounce@freel= ists.org] On Behalf Of Terry D Sent: Monday, August 16, 2004 11:21 AM To: austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: atw: Re: keeping the space before Michaels (L and G), I don't have any of those ticked. Now I'm wondering if I'm alone in this or= if it affects everyone. Can anyone definitely say that their spacing remains as set in their styles= when the paragraph is at the top of a page and there is no forced break? As a test, go to any text that is at the top of a page that is not the firs= t page and doesn't follow a page or section break. Make sure the style does= n't include a page break before. Now, via Format\Paragraph\Indents and spac= ing, increase the space before to some huge amount. On my computer, it mome= ntarily shows the space just set, then springs back to the top of the page.
