MS Office Forum / Word / Long Documents / October 2003Oddity with Word 2003 Line Spacing
I have Word 2003 Beta 2 installed. When I use double spacing or multiple spacing, the line of type aligns to the top of the spacing area, as it should. But when I use Exactly or At least, it aligns the line of top to the bottom of the spacing area. In other words, if have two columns with one spaced at 24pts and the other at 12pts, the first line of text in the 24pt column will be 12pts lower than the first line of text in the 12pt column. This is very unattractive. I've checked and previous versions of Word do not do this. Do I have some setting wrong or is this a change with Office 2003? Any ideas? This is in fact the default behavior in all versions of Word. But in Word 2002 (and possibly some earlier versions), you can choose to have the text centered. Tools | Options | Compatibility: Clear the check box for "Don't center 'exact line height' lines." Generally it's best to avoid mixing Multiple and Exact line spacing. -- Suzanne S.
