How to change the Default Line spacing to SINGLE
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. -- Luc Sanders MVP - PowerPoint "Ron Boetger" schreef in bericht ...

How to change the Default Line spacing to SINGLE
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. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Shakti" wrote in message ...

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?

Luc:
Using Word 2007. I have the same problem with the multiple-line default being impossible - but IMPOSSIBLE - to change from the default, which in my case is 3 lines. I'd like to try your suggestion but I'm not sure what "on the home tab of the ribbon in the paragraph group click the tiny dialog starter button" refers to. How can I find this button? I can get to the paragraph group (or what I assume is the paragraph group) okay, but danged if I can find anything that resembles a "tiny dialog starter button."

S'alright - I figured out what you meant. But I tried it and it didn't work. Restarted Word and the multiple line spacing was back to 3 (I want it to be 1). AB "Andrew B" wrote: Luc: Using Word 2007.

How to change the Default Line spacing to SINGLE
It seems as Word is unable to save normal.dotm correctly. The reason could
be a poorly designed add-in (did you install something recently)? As a work-around, you can open the Normal template as a document and make the desired changes there. When you are done, save and close the file. A simple way to open the Normal template: Press Alt+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor. Press Ctrl+G to activate the Immediate window. Type NormalTemplate.OpenAsDocument and press Enter. You'll see that the normal.dotm file is now the active document. Close the Visual Basic Editor, and edit the defaults of the normal.dotm as suggested previously. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Andrew B" wrote in message ... Stefan: Using Word 2007.

I think this worked! I haven't installed anything Word-related lately. I did recently install Adobe Standard, but I had the multiple spacing problem long before that. Vielen Dank!

I'm glad you got it sorted!
Note that (some versions of) Adobe actually installs an add-in that could cause issues with Word.
