Spacing recommendations
Does anyone have guidelines or "best practices" regarding the use of
Word's paragraph spacing capabilities ?? For example, suppose I want 12 points of space in between any given pair of consecutive "body" paragraphs. How should I define my "body" style ? Should I use: (1) 12 points before and zero points after, or (2) Zero points before and 12 after, or (3) 6 points before and 6 after (4) Something else It seems to me that #3 works best. The only downside is that the 6 pts of "space before" prevents me from putting headings close to my body paragraphs (which I sometimes want to do). I have tried #2, also, and it seems to create a lot of extra work with spacing around figures, tables, and bulleted lists. For your amusement ... many years ago, I edited some docs from the documentation group at Microsoft. Their approach was to put in an extra carriage return, and then adjust its height. I hope that's not the best approach these days. thanks bk |
