MS Office Forum / Word / Document Management / April 2008controlling paragraph spacing between styles
Following Shauna Kelly's great website (shaunakelly.com), I am trying to use styles and paragraph formatting (spacing before / after) to control paragraph spacing, rather than extra empty lines. However, I am running into the following problem. I want some spacing (6pt) between regular (Normal) paragraphs. Then I want to insert a bulleted list (List Bullet) in between Normal paragraphs, and I don't want any extra space between the bullets. I formatted the Normal style to add 6pts after the paragraph. Then I formatted the List Bullet style with the same, but checked the box "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style". Everything was fine until today I extended my bullet list to include List Bullet 2, 3 etc. Now it adds the space when switching from List Bullet to List Bullet 2 and vice versa, etc. If I remove the space after List Bullet completely, there is no space between the last bullet and the next following Normal paragraph. Any suggestions? Thanks! Not terribly elegant, but you could make sets of styles to use in different circumstances. For instance, most block quotations are a single paragraph (and not first-line-indented), so my Quotation style has space above and below (as well as margins indented on both sides). But if a block quotation is more than one paragraph, I want subsequent paragraphs to be first-line indented, and no extra space between paragraphs of a quote. So I have a set of four styles: Quotation, QuotationBeginning (space before, no space after, no indent), QuotationCenter (no space before or after, indented), and QuotationEnd (no space before, space after, indented). Note that the names are in alphabetical order so they appear in the right order in the drop-down menu. > Following Shauna Kelly's great website (shaunakelly.com), I am trying to use > styles and paragraph formatting (spacing before / after) to control paragraph [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Any suggestions?
