MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / July 2004Reduce Leading
How do I reduce the leading in a Word 2000 paragraph? Space Before and Space After don't allow negative values. If I reduce the line size, the font eventually gets clipped. Clearly I do not understand how Word handles reduced leading. You can reduce line spacing using either the Exactly or the Multiple setting (the latter can be set to less than 1 line). Text may appear clipped but will often print anyway. If not, then you need to reduce the font size.  SignatureSuzanne S.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish, Mike? Advance fields were included in Word almost exclusively for compatibility with WordPerfect and are rarely of much use in native Word.

Supposedly with Advance, the second line of text can be made to overlap the first. Now THAT'S positioning! I down't know if I'd ever need it, but I do find it interesting. When I was a WP user, I used it a lot. If you want to superimpose two lines of text, it would probably be a better use of your time to put one of them in a text box in front of the other.
