pleading template
I pulled up the pleading template for 28 lines and my text does not line up
with the numbers on the left side of the paper. Does anyone have any ideas how to keep the text in line with the numbers? |

You need your lines set to exact spacing that matches what the line numbers
are set at. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome!

How do I go about setting my lines to exact spacing. I don't know what the
line numbers are set at or how to even check to see what they are set at. I usually use Word Perfect so Word in somewhat new for me. I have tried using the Help feature but it is very vague.

pleading template
Here's how you find out. Believe it or not, word treats the pleading as a
header/footer. So, open your document. Then go to View-Header/Footer THen click on the area of your pleading. It will put a box highlight around your pleading. Then, just highligt the first two numbers, say 1 and 2. Then...while it is highlighted, either right click on the highlight and choose Paragraph OR while it is highlighted go to Format then Paragraph. On the popup that comes up, you will get information on the spacing. For me, we use pleading and the spacing is exactly 22.75 points. It may be different for you, but that is the way to find out this value. As for spacing your type to match that value, let's use my example. Let's say you do the above and find it to be 22.75. Okay, Now before you begin to type just go to FOrmat, then Paragraph and change the setting on spacing to match the 22.75 Exactly points. From that point on anytyhing you type will match up exactly to your pleading. Good luck! "teresa" wrote: How do I go about setting my lines to exact spacing.
