Default How to change the Default Line spacing to SINGLE

Stefan:

Using Word 2007. I tried the remedy you suggested below (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S,
go to Style pane etc), switched the default multiple spacing from 3 to 1,
clicked to apply this as the default to all new docs, shut down Word,
restarted it, and the multiple line setting was back at 3 again! Is there
anything else I can try?

If you are using a version older than Word 2007, display the Modify Style
dialog box for the Normal style (see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...fyAStyle.html). In the dialog
box, click Format, and then click Paragraph. Click the Indents and Spacing
tab. Make sure that the Line Spacing is what you want, and that the Spacing
Before and After are both set to zero. Click OK. In the Modify Style dialog
box, check the "Add to template" option. Click OK.

If you are using Word 2007, you can do this to set the defaults: Press
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S. In the Styles pane, click the Manage Styles button. Click
the Set Defaults tab. Change the Line Spacing and Spacing Before and After
as desired. Click "New documents based on this template," and click OK.

Havin similar prob? Even tho 'single spacing' is checked, I get 1.5
spacing?

There isn't a "Default" button @ bottom of box?

Appreciate any help up here in the Great White North. It's very cold!

Ron,
You are referring to Word 2007? The line spacing is set to 1 by default
in
previous versions.
If it is Word 2007, on the home tab of the ribbon in the paragraph group
click the tiny dialog starter button. Set your line spacing to one, click
on
the button at the bottom of the dialog, should read something like
default
setting, click Yes and normal.dotx will be changed to meet your
standards.

I want all word documents to default to Single Space. How the
(explicitive deleted starting with a capital "F" do you make this
happen.

Thanks
