Word – How to adjust paragraph spacing between header and top of page

microsoft word

I have a header at the top of the page. There is an image at the top of a page body. The problem is that I need 8 pts of space between that image and the header. I defined a style for that.

The paragraph below the image works fine, but the one before the image doesn't. I do not want to add an empty line before the image.

Desired output:
paragraph needed

How can I resolve this?

This is normal behavior for Word. You just need to make some adjustments to your paragraph properties.

  1. Make sure your picture properties are set to In Line with Text.
  2. Place your cursor to the left of the picture and type your paragraph. The text should appear above the picture.
  3. At the end of the paragraph press Enter once (this does not enter a blank line).
  4. Highlight the paragraph and set Spacing to 8pt (you will have to type the value).

enter image description here

You should now have 8pt spacing after the paragraph.
