How do I retain the spacing before a heading after page break in MS Word 2016

[Ashy1]

Hi

To keep this short and sweet, I have my level 1 headings in word set to the following spacing: 84pt before, and 54pt after. In addition, the heading is set to include a page break before.

However, in MS Word 2016, it suppresses the heading space before the heading if there is a page break before and there seems to be no way to retain this spacing.

How do you retain the "before heading" space?

Now if you really need a space before, e.g. to put the title in the center of the page without having to deal with section breaks, my workaround is the following :
If you cannot put space on top of the text, lower the text.


- Open the Font dialog box launcher (Ctrl+D)
- Go to the second tab Advanced,
- Choose Lowered in the Position option,
- type the value of the spacing you wish
- Don't forget to update the Style to reflect your changes.
And that's it.
Thank you CathDesign.be :-)

Include a Frame as part of your Heading 1 definition.
