Misalignment of Side-by-Side Paragraphs in Word 4.00

= SUMMARY =

When printing double-spaced paragraphs side by side in Word Version 4.00, the paragraph farthest to the left prints one line higher than subsequent paragraphs. This problem occurs if the first paragraph of the side-by-side paragraphs has the Format Paragraph “space before:” field set to a value greater than 0 (zero).

To work around this problem, make the first line of the farthest-left paragraph into a separate paragraph (using a carriage return) with line spacing of 1 line (set in the “line spacing:” field of the Format Paragraph menu). This procedure causes subsequent paragraphs to align correctly, opposite the first line.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with Word Version 4.00. This problem was corrected in Word 5.00.
