Word 2007 - changing the default line spacing
Please please please, someone tell me how to change the default setting of
"Normal" to "No Spacing" in the Styles section of the Home ribbon. I just can't seem to figure out how to change this for new documents, so I manually do it each time. I really hate this feature. Thanks. |

Word 2007 - changing the default line spacing
In the Styles pane, which you can display by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S,
click the Manage Styles button. In the dialog box, click the Set Defaults tab. Make the desired changes. In particular, set the "Line spacing" to "Single" and the "Before" and "After" settings to zero. When you are done, click "New documents based on this template," and then click OK. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "John Salerno" wrote in message ...

This isn't exactly what I want. What this seems to do is change the default settings for the "Normal" style. I don't want this, in case I ever want or need to switch back to Normal style. What I want is for the "No Spacing" style to be selected as the default when I create a new document. Is this possible? |

I changed the entire style set to "Word 2003" and set that as the default. So now the "Normal" style for the Word 2003 set is what I want. |

Word 2007 - changing the default line spacing
I'm glad you got it sorted.
Note, however, that there *is* a difference between setting the defaults (via the Manage Styles dialog box) and changing the Normal style. For example, changes made to the default settings will affect the corresponding settings of all styles (where that setting hasn't been explicitly defined), no matter if the style has a base style (parent style) or not. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "John Salerno" wrote in message ...

Well, I think what I did was to just switch my default style to the Word 2003 version, which doesn't add the extra line spacing. I don't think I actually changed the "Normal" style to something other than what it was, I'm just using a different Normal style (03 as opposed to 07). |
