I set before and after for all styles John that way the greater value is
always the dominant one.

Hi John,

 

It's a matter of personal preference, but I've found that having a mixture
of space before and space after works best for me. For my usual text paras,
I use 4 pt before and after. For bullets I use 2 pt before and 4 pt after.
For headings I use a fair bit more before (depending on heading level) and 6
pt after. These spacings mean I never need to use empty paras to provide
required white space - apart from the fact that MSWord doesn't provide space
around tables.

 

You might also find that things work better if you check 'Don't use HTML
para auto spacing' in Tools\Options\Compatibility.

 

Cheers,

Terry

Are there guidelines on which paragraph should control separation between
paragraphs?

For example, should paragraph 1 control spacing after or should paragraph 2
control spacing before?

 

Thanks

JD
