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.
