This article was previously published under Q160854 SYMPTOMS
When you open a pleading document that was created in a later version of
Word than is listed at the beginning of this article, line numbering may
not line up with the body text. For example, the case number and the
pleading title do not line up with the line numbers in the left margin.
CAUSE
The Pleading Wizard in later versions of Word use the "Don't center 'exact
line height' lines" option to force the body text to line up with line
numbering. Word does this by moving the text above the baseline and by
using an exact line spacing measurement.
NOTE: The "Don't center 'exact line height' lines" option is not supported
in the versions of Word listed at the beginning of this article.
WORKAROUND
To adjust the body text to align with the line numbering in the margin, use
one of the following methods:
Method 1: Insert a blank line
Insert a blank line above the text that you want to force down.
Method 2: Use paragraph formatting- Select the text that you want to reposition.
- On the Format menu, click Paragraph, and then click the Indents and
Spacing tab.
- Under Spacing, reduce the Before value to half the value that is
currently set for line spacing. For example, if line spacing is set to
exactly 24 points then change the Before value to 12 points.
