Remove All Formatting-Top of Letters Cut Off
This has happened to me several times in the past and I have no idea how to
combat this. It primarily happens to documents I inherit where a user has not used any automatic formatting but has used spaces and tabs and has manually typed in outline numbers. In this case I have tried to wipe out the formatting by highlighting the entire document and choosing body text but it still seems like the tops of letters are cut off, some items are in superscript, and other lines breaks are bigger than single spacing. I have also tried to copy the entire document to a plain, no-format txt document. NOTHING works. How can I remove all formatting from a document? Thanks in advance. |

Try copying the entire document and then pasting it in WordPad and then
copying it from there and pasting into a new Word document. -- Carol A. Bratt, MCP "TinleyParkILGal" wrote: This has happened to me several times in the past and I have no idea how to combat this.

Carol, thanks for your recommendation. I've already done this. The tops of the letters are still cut off and there are still letters that are superscript.

Sorry! Are there by any chance text boxes in the document?

Is the Body Text style set to Exact line spacing? Also check the
Compatibility Options, as there are some that affect line spacing with superscript/subscript. -- Suzanne S.

Remove All Formatting-Top of Letters Cut Off
Thank you Carol and Suzanne for your assistance. I did not realize where the
styles came from (Format, Style and then to modify the style). There were no text boxes in the document I am currently working on but what I ended up doing was checking your suggestion Suzanne, and then Carol, I copied and pasted the document a couple of times into wordpad and finally the 3rd attempt took more of the formatting out. Now I am manually taking the user's numbering out (unfortunate but has to be done). Thank you for your help. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Is the Body Text style set to Exact line spacing?
