Inconsistent spacing between styles
Any ideas why this is inconsistent? I reapplied the styles, this should have cleared overrides. Seems to start after the fourth H1. Thanks
Blank paragraphs. Best practice, adjust the Layout spacing before/after to avoid them, but when they're inconsistent (at the end of a page), I think blank paragraphs are safer as a global change could override overrides.
Thanks for the follow-up. Using blank paragraphs is usually NOT the best policy. As editing moves text around, any blank paragraph at the end of a page may end up at the beginning of the next page, and you usually don't want that to happen.
There are some exceptions to the rule, though. You do need a blank paragraph or two following a table of contents field (and sometimes you may want a blank paragraph after a table). Beyond that, para spacing (Before/After) will do the job.
