There's an OpenOrCloseUpPara command, assigned by default to Ctrl+0, that alternately adds and removes 12 pt of Space Before. There are also commands IncreaseParagraphSpacing and DecreaseParagraphSpacing, neither of them assigned a keystroke by default, that add and subtract 6 pt of Space Before. If you really need a 1-pt increment, you'll have to add these macros to your template and assign keystrokes to them through the Tools Customize Keyboard dialog: Sub IncreaseParagraphSpacing1pt() Selection.ParagraphFormat.SpaceBefore = _ Selection.ParagraphFormat.SpaceBefore + 1 End Sub Sub DecreaseParagraphSpacing1pt() Selection.ParagraphFormat.SpaceBefore = _ Selection.ParagraphFormat.SpaceBefore - 1 End Sub See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if needed. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

One correction: The Decrease macro needs to be changed to avoid an error if the Space Before is already zero: Sub DecreaseParagraphSpacing1pt() With Selection.ParagraphFormat If .SpaceBefore 0 Then .SpaceBefore = .SpaceBefore - 1 End If End With End Sub -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
