Re: Space Before and After?

[Steven Jong <SteveFJong -at- comcast -dot- net>]

Speaking of elements that fall atop a page, we are being driven slowly 
mad by trying to use a Word template that gives different results for 
level heads that fall atop a page depending on how we broke the 
previous page. If the previous page is full, so that the level head 
starts the next page naturally, it falls a certain distance (1/1 
inches) from the top of the page. If the previous page ended with a 
page break, it falls a quarter-inch lower. The style "Level 3 Head with 
Break," defined in our template, falls three-eighths of an inch lower!

Once we noticed this problem (and it's obvious in our printed books how 
the previous pages ended), we started breaking pages with paragraph 
marks. (Oh, the horror! the horror!) I am not responsible for 
maintaining the template, and I'm rusty at it anyway. I've taken a look 
at the styles and I don't see any obvious reason why their position 
atop pages depends on how the previous page ended.

Is this an argument for only using space below?
