Hello everyone!



I'm having a little problem with decreasing the spacing of the limit placed in the chapter title as shown in the image. I put that little arrow to better understand the space I'm trying to narrow down.
Can anyone help me? Thank you!

While there is an attached document, I do not see any image. I am unsure what your question is.

Sorry, inicial i added the image through HTML code but it didn't work apparently.
Also i added a little sample from the document.

How to attach a screenshot or file in this forum.

I believe you are referring to the distance between the paragraph text and the paragraph border below it. I am repeating part of your screen shot below.

You will have to reduce the value for Line Spacing in the heading paragraph.

You can fine-tune the distance between the text paragraph and the border by using the Options button on the Border tab of the Borders and Shading dialog box.

Use Spacing After to increase the distance between the "bordered" paragraph and the following text.

Yes you are right and I know how to do it.
The problem is that the spacing between "Capítulo 1" and "Introdução" also changes and I didn't want that. I just want to change the distance between the border line and the text.

If you don't want to use "Single" Line Spacing you can test "Multiple" and specify 1.15, for example. It will create some additional spacing between the text lines.

Or you can choose to use two separate paragraphs (formatted in two different styles): one for the number and one for the text. The distance between between the paragraphs will then be controlled by Spacing Before (or Spacing After).

Andre, your formatting for the chapter heading is a bit difficult to figure out.

You want to have your Heading 1 on two right-justified lines and are trying to have each line have its own formatting while being under the same style. When I look at "CAPITULO 2", you have a first line indentation of 4.8" (you possibly see it in centimeters), and in the custom multi-level list, you have Heading 1 (Capitulo) followed by an automatic tab character.

You might want to try replacing the tab character in the multilevel list settings with "nothing." Then you can manually insert a line break (shift + Enter, not just Enter for a paragraph break) between Capitulo 1 and Introdução. If you want a double space between Capitulo 1 and Introducao, but not a double space between Introducao and the line, an easy manual way of doing that is turning off the auto spacing and adding an extra line return there. I tried updating your table of contents (incide geral), and it brings both of those on the same line there.

Thank you all.
I went for the alternative of choosing two different styles. It worked but I have to manually change the main index.

Suzanne S. Barnhill discusses several ways to deal with two styles (one for numbering and one for heading text) in her article TOC Tips and Tricks.
