Learn Legal 2007-16: Properly Producing The Gap...

Scenario: Heading 1 Centered: Article 1 (Soft Return) (1 line Gap) Introduction (Hard Return) Above, we have the situation of a centered Heading 1. Between Article 1 and the "Introduction" line there is a gap of 1 line which is the look that the author wanted for that level. The question then becomes how do we properly produce the gap? 1. The Soft Return after the Article line enables us to apply the Heading 1 style that will control this level 1x instead of having to apply it 2x if we were to place a hard return on the "Article" line. We want both lines to react immediately from the one application of Heading 1. 2. Some people will use an additional soft return after the Article line in order to produce the gap, but if you were taking a test or you were at work, that would be a red flag that your knowledge base needed to be bolstered. 3. So, how to properly produce the gap? You produce the gap in the textual aspect of Heading 1. You modify and set the Heading for Double Spacing (under Paragraph) and you make sure that Before and After Spacing is set to Zero. 4. By setting the Heading for Double Spacing, there is no need for the extra soft return that would have had to be applied by direct formatting throughout the entire document. 5. Your document will look clean and your document is totally controlled and automated by styles and not direct formatting. For training from an inside perspective. www.advanceto.com
