Note that Heading 2 + Arial is not a style but "formatting." If you want
your Heading 2s to be Arial, you need to modify the style rather than add
the font as direct formatting. I'm not sure what that might have to do with
the problem, however.

Yes, both show the same style in the formatting toolbar.

If I cut text from a webpage and use Paste SpecialUnformatted text, that
pasted paragraph shows as Heading 2 + Arial (which is what the formatting
toolbar displayed before I pasted). Even though it pastes in as single
spaced, any typing after that is double spaced.

If I select the pasted single spaced paragraph (the toolbar says Heading 2
+
arial) and press CTRL +Q, the spacing changes slightly and it is still
single
spaced, and it still says Heading 2 + arial.

If I select that newly typed double spaced paragraph (the toolbar says
Heading 2 + arial) and press CTRL +Q, the spacing changes slightly and it
is
still double spaced, and it still says Heading 2 + arial.

As a test I created a new document, typed in it, and the style showed as
Normal. Selecting that text and pressing Ctrl+Q does not seem to change
the
way it appears, and it still says Normal.
Also, text that I paste into this new document using Paste Special will
appear as Normal.

And they are both displaying as the same paragraph style?

I made no changes to the formatting, so I guess that means it is as
defined
in the style.

If I select a single spaced paragraph and press Ctrl+Q, it remains
unchanged. If I select a double spaced paragraph and press Ctrl+Q,
the
spacing changes slightly smaller, but it is still double spaced (if I
place
the cursor there and press Enter, I get a double space).

Also, if I go to FormatParagraph after pressing Ctrl+Q (the paragraph
is
still selected) it shows Space Before/After as Auto, and Line Spacing
as
Single. This is in both the paragraphs I referred to above, even the
one
that is still clearly double spaced.

Thanks

Was the spacing in your document applied as direct formatting, or is
that
the spacing defined in the style? What happens if you select one of
the
existing paragraphs and press Ctrl+Q?

The problem just happened again.
I cut some text from a web page, I pasted it using Paste
SpecialUnformatted
Text, and when I go to type after it, it is now double spaced.
When I highlight that newly double spaced area and go to
FormatParagraph,
it does in fact show some odd results. Space Before and After
show
"Auto"
and Line Spacing shows "At Least 14.25".

I've confirmed that before the Paste Special, the Paragraph
formatting
was
Space Before/After "0" and single line spacing. Why would Pasting
Unformatted Text change those settings?

Thanks

Thanks for all the replies. I generally do use Paste
Special-Unformatted
Text, and I 've also used Paste Options-Keep Text Only, but I
still
experience the behavior where it seems to default to double
spacing,
but
does
not indicate it as such in Format-Paragraph, so I can't seem to
change
it
back to Single Spacing.

I often cut and paste text from the web to Word XP, and
somehow
in
that
process the line spacing changes from single spacing to
double,
so
that
when
I then add my own comment and hit the Enter key, I get two
line
spaces.
And
then it stays that way for the rest of the document. I find
this
quite
irritating, and if I go into Format/Paragraph it still shows
it
as
single
space, so there is nothing I can do about it. If I
highlight a
portion of
the document (or the whole document) and go to
Format/Paragraph/single
spacing, it still does not help the problem.

I know that when this happens I can do a Shift/Enter and get
single
spacing
for just that line, but it is troublesome to remember to do
that
on
every
line as I am working more on the document.

I also use WordPad quite a bit, and it happens there too.

If you have any ideas, I would be very grateful.

Thank you.
