line spacing keeps applying to whole document
Word 2000 user, now in Word 2003 when I try to apply the 1.5 or higher line
spacing buttons it changes the entire document! Doesn't matter what I select or hilight it just spaces the entire document. In Word 2000, just placing your cursor at the end of the line before clicking puts the spacing between just those two lines!What to do? |

Check the formatting for the style that's used where you're applying the
spacing. It sounds like it's set to Automatically Upate. For example, if the whole document is formatted as Normal, and if Automatically Update is turned on for Normal... then any change to a paragraph formatted as Normal will automatically become part of the style's underlying definition, and will affect all other Normal-formatted paragraphs. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Please respond in the newsgroups so everyone can follow along. http://www.herbtyson.com "Deedle" wrote in message ...
