I have a query regarding the Format-Paragraph-Line Spacing property in OOO2 Beta.
Taking a passage of text comprising several multiline paragraphs.....
If I select the document and set the Proportional Line Spacing to 200%, all lines (both within each paragraph and between paragraphs) double space.
If I select the document and set the Proportional Line Spacing to 100%, all lines (both within each paragraph and between paragraphs) single space.
If, however, I select a Proportional Line Spacing of 50%, the lines within each paragraph alter to half normal leading but the spacing between paragraphs remains unaltered.
Is this the expected behaviour?
I am trialing converting from Word and this behaviour is proving troublesome.
This reply is going to the OP and the list.
The answer to your question is "Yes." Here's why:
It's a fairly safe bet that your original documents use empty paragraphs to achieve double spacing between visible paragraphs, i.e., <Enter> was merely pressed twice. I don't recall what MSO provides to format seperation before and after paragraphs, but whatever it may be wasn't used to format your documents. What you are seeing is the result of formatting these "empty" paragraphs in OOo.
To thoroughly eliminate the behaviors you're seeing, delete the empty paragraphs. Then set the spacing above and/or below your remaining paragraphs using the settings in the Format>Paragraph>Indents & Spacing box. This action should provide you with more desireable results.
