MS Word Legal and Corporate - Auto Means Something Else… Scenario :  The Secretary has a cover page.  She has 5 lines centered.  Hard return after each line.  They wish to have zero space between the lines that are vertically centered as well as horizontally centered.  When she goes to Format, Paragraph, it says  Auto  next to “ Before and After .”  Still, we have space between the lines.
