   and 2.0c

SYMPTOMS
========

When you select the Center Vertical Alignment option in the Format
Section Layout dialog box, Word for Windows may insert extra space
after a frame, which causes a gap under the frame. This space does not
appear on the screen in all views, but it appears in print preview and
when you print the document.

If you change the Vertical Alignment section layout setting to Top or
Justified, Word does not add any extra space after the frame.

The Center Vertical Alignment option is designed to center the
information on a page between the top and bottom margins. It should
not change the spacing between page elements.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND
==========

If you want to vertically center a page that contains a frame, do not
use the Center Vertical Alignment option. Instead, use one of the
following methods to manually center the page:

 - Insert paragraph marks at the top of the page.

   -or-

- In the Paragraph dialog box, change the Before, After, and Line
  Spacing paragraph settings under Spacing.
