Why don’t I have any space between my paragraphs?




Why don’t I have any space between my paragraphs?

Scenario:

In my litigation document, I had at the beginning of the document a Preamble Section.  That section had paragraphs A-G. Since my Multilevel Outline starts on the next page forward, I chose to use a List Numbering Style to take care of these paragraphs.

I set up both the numbering aspect as well as the textual aspect of the List Style I chose from the right side style panel.   Once done, I noticed that I had no after spacing between each paragraph, even though I distinctly remember putting in 12 Pts. After Spacing when setting up the Paragraph Menu of the List Style I used.  With me so far?


  1.  When using a List Style, the default setting underneath the “After Spacing” selection says the following:  “Don’t Add Space Between Paragraphs of the same type” and this selection is checked and therefore active.
  2. Uncheck this box and now you will see that the 12Pts. After Spacing between the paragraphs is now working.
  3. The Default setting for the List Styles is ALWAYS checked for “Don’t Add Space Between Paragraphs of the same type” selection.
  4. The good news is that for the Heading Styles and Body Text Styles the Default setting is unchecked which is what we want.
  5. Just be alert when using List Styles.

   Extracting All Hyperlinks From A Document: Scenario :  The attorney has submitted to the WP Center a large file for editing.  This file contains many hyperlinks as well.  The attorney asked us to (besides editing the document), to extract all hyperlinks to a separate document.  They want to have handy, a listing of all of the hyperlinks that were used in one easy place to go through them so that they do not have to go throughout the document looking for them.

   MS Word Legal:  The Strategy Session Volume 2 Getting Ready and Structure First:  Clearing up those Issues From The Very Start That Tend To Hold Us Back… Authored by Louis Ellman  Clearing up the very thing that confuses most new MS Word users that is of course  Page Numbering and Section Breaks!   I wrote this book only a few years ago but it holds up fine and our students use these methods every day! We teach for the public, top-tier legal firms, outsource legal staff, large corporations and we consistently see one thing that they all have in common: They do not have a routine that they use before they ever start editing a document.  Also, they do not have a routine that they use to properly segment, page number and title all items relating to structure.  This is across the board.  This book goes over these routines piece by piece and this is the same vital and unique info that we personally share with our students including ma...
