Created attachment 200754 [details] TopMarginAfterTOC.docx Normally, after a normal page break, the top paragraph spacing is applied. And we do that in LO. However, it seems that Microsoft makes an exception to the case where the page break comes after a Table of Contents field. In that particular case, no top margin is applied. Already true in OOo 3.3, so Inherited. Steps to reproduce: 1.) open TopMarginAfterTOC.docx On page 2 is the ToC. Notice the big gap between the header and the heading 1 paragraph "Table of Contents" with 48pt of "above spacing". That's all good. On page 3 is where the problem is seen. In LO we have the same large gap before the heading 1 paragraph "Chapter 1 48pt", while in MS Office there is no gap at all.
