= SUMMARY =

The Space Before feature in Word versions 3.10, 3.11, 4.00, 5.00 and 5.50 cannot be used if the paragraph is the first paragraph on the page (except on the first page).

A setting other than 0 (zero) in the Format Paragraph “space before:” field is ignored if the paragraph is the first paragraph on the page. If Word did not do this, there would be no way to ensure paragraph alignment at the top of pages following page one when the Space Before feature is used.

Word assumes that it is preferable to have paragraphs aligned at the top of each page, rather then preserving the Space Before feature in an absolute manner.
