- you took the words out of my, er, fingers? - it is a standard setting, and
little known in these days of 2007 and 2010. And it is the default
setting to have it turned OFF, but it is one of the things that drive people
crazy as to why paragraphs aren't spacing as they are designed.
If you want an complex document design and style architecture you can't work
precisely enough without it - at least I can't J
In 2007 and 2010 you set this option via File (or Word Start button) >
Options > Advanced > Compatibility Options, and it will be about half way
down the list.

In Word 2003, if I have a few paras at 0pt before and 6pt below followed by
3pt before and 6 below, the spacing for the latter paras is greater.
But I have "Don't use HTML paragraph auto spacing" turned ON, that's the
trick, via Tools - Options, Compatibility tab. If I turn that setting OFF,
then they are all the same ... but why turn it off when I'm not producing
HTML via Word, and I want the different before and after spacings I use to
show in the document, for example to allow a space after a table I use 10pt
before and 12 after.

Hi Terry,
1st para = 3pt below
Next para = 6pt above
The greater value (6pt) is the space between paras and is therefore dominant
over the 3pt value of the 1st para which becomes irrelevant.
Anne didn't qualify her statement by stipulating which tool adds the two
values (a tool I haven't come across yet) so I'll simply qualify my
statement by saying this is the way it works in Word and FrameMaker.

Hi Bruce,
Meant to ask before. What do you mean by dominant in the following?
Cheers,
Terry

. way the greater value is always the dominant one.
