= SUMMARY =

When a document is set up with paragraphs formatted with the Format Paragraph “space before:” field set to a nonzero number, the space before is ignored at the beginning of each page except on the first page of the document.

This behavior occurs after a column break, a manual page break, or an automatic page break. However, the space before is recognized after a division break in Word version 5.00, or a section break in Word version 5.50.

This behavior occurs by program design. To get a blank line before the first paragraph, a blank line must be inserted at the beginning of each page except the first page.
