What to name a series of fields: a puzzle?

["Hart, Geoff" <Geoff-H -at- MTL -dot- FERIC -dot- CA>]

Andrea Frazier needs to know <<... what to label a series of fields on the
program interface that let you create optional spaces on an invoice... The
software has a wizard that lets you design your own invoice. On this
particular screen, you can list the various engagements that you bill in a
vertical column... Each engagement and its description represents a block of
text. Between each block of text, there is a space.>>

I'd suggest using a simplified version of the same wording used in most
desktop publishing and word processing software: "Space before" or "Space
after", depending on which option the programmer has created. It might be
possible to include both options, but I suspect that would confuse the issue
without adding significant power to the interface.
