For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
As I'm sure most of you know, MS Word allows its
styles to be formatted with spacing before and after
the style. For example, Body Text might have a 6pt
space before and a 6 pt space after.
Unfortunately, these spaces add together. For example,
if Heading 1 has a 12pt space after and Body Text a
6pt space before, the resulting gap between the two is
18pt. Worse, if Body Text follows Body Text, there is
now a 12pt space between paragraphs.
I have long been tempted to move to only spacing
before or after, not both, to eliminate this problem.
Has anyone else tried this? Comments? Ridicule?
