Speaking of elements that fall atop a page, we are being driven slowly mad by trying to use a Word template that gives different results for level heads that fall atop a page depending on how we broke the previous page. If the previous page is full, so that the level head starts the next page naturally, it falls a certain distance (1/1 inches) from the top of the page. If the previous page ended with a page break, it falls a quarter-inch lower. The style "Level 3 Head with Break," defined in our template, falls three-eighths of an inch lower!



Is this an argument for only using space below?


It's an argument for using Keep With Next and Keep Lines Together, either applied as overrides or as separate paragraph styles.

It's also an argument for not using Word as a page layout application when your intent is to print books, but apparently that battle has been lost.
