Re: Space Between Paragraphs

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I usually use Space After for Body Text, plus a large amount of Space Before
and a small amount of Space After for headings.

It all depends on what you are doing with your paragraphs, I guess. My
preference is to use space-before.

Out-of-the-box, though, I think body text adds space after.

Dear All,

In word processing and page layout programs, I've always tried to
standardize on adding space *after* paragraphs when creating styles or
direct formatting. In my simple brain, it seemed like the simplest,
most
logical way to do it. I've learned that Word's "open up" property
(method?) adds space before. Wondering if there is a best practice on
this -- space between paragraphs and where to add it when it's called
for.

Sincerely,

Ridge
