I format body text to have a space before and after of 6pt. The actual

distance in between paragraphs is only 6 - it does NOT pick up the

'before' when in succession, only when after a heading. This holds true

for my headings too, they do not have the total space above which I

would expect if I set at 12pt and the previous paragraph has a 6pt after

then there should be a total of 18pt in between. Is this new to Word

XP?

Thanks

In Word XP there is an additional setting in Format Paragraph for the style
' Do not add space between paragraphs of the same style'. You can uncheck
this to ensure the space is additive.

On the Compatibility tab of Tools | Options, check the box for "Don't use
HTML paragraph auto spacing."
