Single Spacing Default Word 2007
I was hoping there is a way of turning off word 2007 from double spacing
every time i hit the enter key. I have my line breaks set to 1.0 and i have read that the only way to fix this is to highlight your work area and then remove paragrah space. I also have tried hitting shift + enter and this will single space, but getting my users to do this is another issue all in itself.. I work in a corporate enviroment and could have 500 + potential users all wanting this fixed. Is there a reg hack a setting something so that we dont lose our sanity here in the IT Dept . -- Thanks, Phil Adler |

This was one of the first things I changed, and I *think* it was the space
before or after paragraph. Go to the home tab and the paragraph group. Click the small arrow at the bottom right and check all settings are 0 and line spacing at single. Then click on Default. When asked if you wish to apply to the normal template click Yes. Hope this is the answer as it is a few weeks ago now since I did it. -- Rae Drysdale "Phil Adler" wrote: I was hoping there is a way of turning off word 2007 from double spacing every time i hit the enter key.

Single Spacing Default Word 2007
John, I have tried your suggestion and the suggestion of others in this group
but I still cannot get Word 2007 to set my default line spacing to just one line and it is driving me nuts. I don't want 1.15 or 1.5 or anything else. I want my document to space just one line. If I want two lines (like for another paragraph) I will press the enter key twice. Any ideas or suggestions? This really is driving me crazy.

What is the name of the paragraph style in use where you are typing, and what are the properties "Space Before" and "Space After" set to? The style definitions are all held in the user's Normal template (Normal.dotm). Look up "Styles" in the Word Help, then if you need more information, come back with specific questions.

Single Spacing Default Word 2007
Hi Leland,
Follow these steps: 1. Click the Change Styles button near the right end of the Home ribbon. 2. In the dropdown from that button, click Style Set. In the flyout list, select Traditional. That will give you a Normal style with no space before or after. 3. Click the Change Styles button again and click Set As Default. That applies your selection to the Normal.dotm template, which is the basis for new blank documents (unless you choose a different template). 4. The next time you close Word, if you're asked whether to save changes to the Normal template, say yes. -- 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.
