Word 2007 - Line spacing problem
How do I set Word to line spacing properly?
I want to type in Name Addess City etc. I have changed the spacing to 1" but Word 2007 when I hit the enter key after typing in the name drops down 2 spaces it seems so I get Name Addess City etc. Spacing worked fine in Office XP. thanks |

Word 2007 - Line spacing problem
Hi David,
This problem occurs because the "Normal" style in Word 2007 by default places a space between paragraphs (which is different than line spacing which has to do with spaces between lines). The lines of the address are treated as paragraphs. On the Home tab in the Styles section, change the selection to "No spacing." You could also edit the "Normal" style so there are no spaces between paragraphs.

It might be better to apply a *different* style to the paras involved - in fact Word 2007 has one built-in by the name of No Space - or creating a Custom Style that carries the preferred attributes or even a customized template. Another option might be just to press Shift+Enter to create a line break in successive-line items such as addresses, rather than pressing Enter. -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac |

thanks for the response.
I couldn't find a no space style so I am using the Word 2003 style which works. Shift+enter doesn't look right for me. Thanks for the resonse.

Thanks Bob, but I edit the Normal paragraph style all the time.
You might go back and read my first post, however, and see that that was my second suggestion. My first was to use the "No Space" (sic) style you mentioned.

I'm glad you found another option.
I am surprised you don't see the "No Spacing" option. It should be between "Normal" and "Heading 1" in the Style section of the Home tab. -- Douglas Ryan VanBenthuysen Office System Solutions Specialist 3Sharp http://blogs.3sharp.com/Blog/dougv/ "David Sherman" wrote: thanks for the response.
