Removing spaces in pasted text.
I am using Word 2003. I pasted a list of names into a new doc. The original
doc had some spaces (paragraphs?) in it, and I wanted to remove them. Some of the spaces I could remove, the others skip past the empty space and attach themselves to the end of the next line up. I didn't create the original list, so I'm not sure if it was created with the ENTER key or by formatting. I tried activating the paragraph icon, and the list doesn't include a double PP marker. I also tried removing the PP marker, but it didn't work. Some of the names that are correct (without a line space) have a return mark after them, some have a larger PP mark, but the ones I'm having trouble with have a smaller PP mark. I know this is confusing but I would appreciate help. |

Removing spaces in pasted text.
Each paragraph can set space before and after the paragraph. These settings
can be set as points or lines before/after the paragraph. For a quick fix, select the offending paragraph(s). The next steps will reset the paragraphs to your normal (paragraph) style, and strip off all paragraph, character and direct formatting. So long as your Normal paragraphs style doesn't have before/after spacing set, your problem should be solved. Select the offending paragraph(s) using the mouse (or cursor keys). While the text is selected press the 3 key combinations shown below. Remove paragraph or character formatting. CTRL+SPACE BAR Remove paragraph formatting.
