Hi Dan
Go to Office Button, Word Options, Advanced and then scroll down to the end
and expand Layout Options. It is in there as Suppress Extra Line Spacing at
top of page

Subject: [mso] Arcane Word Question
Okay, this is very, very specific stuff, but I'll lay it out there just in
case someone out there in cyberspace has lots of legal experience:
In legal court filings, the lines are numbered along the left edge of the
paper. This numbering is nearly always put into the document's header
(though that may seem counterintuitive as this numbering runs all the way
down the left margin of each page).
It looks something like this:
1 ??Text, text, text
??
2 ??
??
3 ??
Now two versions of Word ago (whatever that may have been), there was
apparently a bug which would make things appear more like this:
1 ??
??Text, text, text
2 ??
??
3 ??
Note, of course, that the text is not aligning with the numbers. So in Word
2003 there was a fix found under the Tools, Options, "Compatibility" tab.
There, one could find a check box next to "Suppress Extra Line Spacing at
Top of Page". Checking that box would take care of the problem, moving the
text back up in alignment with the numbers along the left margin of the
page.
So my question is this: I recently ran into this mis-alignment problem in
the latest Word 2007, but for the life of me I could not locate a similar
"fix" as exists in the previous version of Word. Anyone have any idea if
such a comparable fix exists in the latest version? I was able to come up
with a work-around to take care of the problem, but it's quite clunky, and
I'd love to find an easier solution.
Thanks for reading!
