5.00

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

A paragraph that is using Format Paragraph “space before: Yes” will display a line on the screen that is not printed. This will be displayed if Options “show layout:” is set to No. In Word 5.00, the “space before” paragraph formatting feature is designed to be used only after another paragraph. If a paragraph is formatted with the space before feature and is the very first item on a page, Word will not take into account the number of lines given in the “space before:” field.

Print Preview or Options “show layout: Yes” will correctly display no space before the first paragraph and space before each subsequent paragraph.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Word 4.00, uses this feature differently. Word 4.00 recognizes a paragraph with space before formatting whether the paragraph is the first item on the page or whether the paragraph follows another paragraph.
