Hi Jim P,

>I did it the quick and dirty way (highlighed ALL of the text, set the parameters from the paragraph Indents and Spacing menu).<

I did the same, adding turning on "show symbols" which showed the pilcrows at the end of each "paragraph" and the carriage return symbols at the ends of the short lines within "paragraphs". Then changed the "After" paragraph spacing - and nothing changed. That is why I'm wondering if my Word2010 is working correctly - tho I'm certainly capable of making some dumb mistake.

Could some other setting, tho I've tried various, like line spacing, font or font size make a difference? I'm using 8 point character height and Arial Narrow to get high info density on a pocket size trip schedule. Trip starts in two days and I don't expect to be in contact for two weeks.
