Notice at the bottom of the brief is the Certificate of Type Size and Style. Especially since most people never write with their hands anymore! Just for fun here is a pdf of an official appeal brief in the State of Florida. Imagine someone sending in a handwritten essay or appeal! That could get ugly. One reason why court briefs, orders, etc. I am in the USA, and proper typography for lawyers and those who are pro se (representing themselves) is mandatory. That can sometimes include double line spacing depending on the court document. The word spacing could call for single, 1.5, double and so on. I write a lot of court documents, and the vast majority of Courts around the world also require precise typography. I have gone all the way through college and never had a time where double-spaced text wasn't a condition of formatting. There are numerous formats required depending on the type of paper you are writing, i.e., medical/scientific, white papers, technology, literature, etc. In scholarly academic style writing, double spaced words are commonly a requirement. I do not know if this is relevant however I have also noticed that both documents appear to change their table attributes in this way regarding the 6th table, on their 4th pages.Sorry, maybe I misunderstood what you want to do: I've never heard of someone wanting to do that. UPDATE: I have made an additional separate OpenOffice Writer document (a second one) detailing different information and again on the 6th table this automatic Top spacing occurs (whereas the previous 5 tables resume normal content spacing standards) and I am unable to remedy this documents 6th tables spacing as well. I have included a sample of this occurrence, please feel free to alter and attempt any solution. I feel I am quite missing something here and would be very grateful for some assistance. I tried Alt + Up/Down however pressing up shows no effect while pressing down alters the Bottom spacing only. I tried turning off synchronicity and altering the Top to 0.00 to remedy this situation however it only slightly nudged my sentence upwards with still quite a noticeable gab between said sentence and the row it is placed inside. My spacing to contents were originally reading synchronized 0.04. I have also attempted the above stated solutions. I have tried what I feel is the obvious attempts of deleting the whole thing and inserting a new table but this isolated incident remains to occur. Untitled 1.odt Please compare difference in spacing of contents between first table and second with specific regard to Top content spacing within the second table. And if I'm missing the bleeding obvious, I really do apologise.Įdit: I've found that part of the problem was due to my use of MS Unicode Arial font type, selecting Arial or TNR improves the results, but I would still like to be able to specify some padding factor if that's at all possible. I have a workaround - I copy and paste the table into Word and reduce the row height and padding, and that works perfectly, but I'd much prefer to be able to do what I need in Writer, if that's possible. So there's definitely something between the text and the cell border, but I can't seem to find a way to get rid of it. But if I just place the cursor in any given cell and use the same fill, the fill DOESN'T extend to the cell borders, just to the text limits. I tried some different methods of background colouring to see if there is an invisible gap, and there does seem to be - if I select an entire row, for example, and change the fill colour, the fill extends to each cell's borders. Reducing or enlarging the size of the text reduces or enlarges the cell height (using "Automatic" cell height settings), but if I turn off auto settings and manually resize the fonts and cell sizes, the padding never goes away and all I end up doing is truncating text descenders, and of course then I can't change the font size without also changing the table row height! But no matter what I do, there's always a massive (>= 4 points) gap between the top of each row/cell and the text. I've tried paragraph settings (I'm using the default paragraph style), character settings, cell alignment, border widths, and even manually sizing the rows and using superscript font style. I'm particularly trying to reduce or eliminate the vertical padding - so far the leading/trailing padding isn't a big issue, it seems to work fine. I just can't find any function or setting to do this - it seems to be happening automagically, and I can't find a way to turn it off. I'm trying to create a simple table, but I can't seem to reduce the "padding" (gap between the top/left/bottom/right of each cell and the top/left/bottom/right of the text within the cell). Hi, I'm new to Writer, but I've been using MS Office for over a decade.
