Ok James...I just tested it....I made a style called James that had 8 pts after the paragraph...then I made a new style named James Less, based on James, that had 0 pts after the paragraph and it worked fine. Am I misunderstanding you? Is this what you are saying you can't do? What do you mean when you say it's not possible? Do you get an error message or something?

I have created a second (Style B) based on Style A on which I wish to specify line spacing of 0 points after the paragraph. Testing indicates that while it is possible to make Style B have MORE line spacing than Style A, it is not possible to make Style B have LESS line spacing than Style A. It appears that Publisher can store Style B as "Style A plus extra leading", but cannot store Style B as "Style A with less". I'm attempting to (a) confirm that my testing is true (b) determine whether it is expected (a feature) or unexpected (a bug) James S.
