Default Word 2007 to "No Spacing"?
Is there a setting to make Word 2007 default to use "No Spacing" under the
Styles of the Home Tab? It's very annoying that it defaults to normal. I never use it!!! It's especially when doing a Mail Merge and I have to put Name, Name2, Contact, Address, Address2, etc.. all on one tiny label. Can't do that with the spacing it does by normal. Each time I have to change it to no spacing. |

Default Word 2007 to "No Spacing"?
Yes, I know I can change styles.
I'd like it to ALWAYS use no spacing by default. When I create a new document it's "normal" and I don't want that at all. "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ... Apply the Word 2003 style set.

Default Word 2007 to "No Spacing"?
Open Normal.dotm; show paragraph marks (click the ¶ in the paragraph group of
the home tab); select the paragraph mark (the only thing in the file); and change its style to no spacing. Save and close normal.dotm. There may be some downsides to doing this (I can only think of one), so keep your change in mind when you get unexpected results. THT, Pam shawn wrote: Yes, I know I can change styles.

The normal style in the Word 2003 style set has no spacing, thus by changing
the style set, you change the default spacing. Tables always use the normal style by default. Labels created by the label tool should eliminate the extra space (though in practice they don't always) - see http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "shawn" wrote in message ...

Default Word 2007 to "No Spacing"?
Yes, I can change the style, but I can't find where to make it ALWAYS use
that style by default. Everytime I start Word or a new file it defaults to Normal. The way they did that label crap in 2007 really sucks. I used to be able to fit more information on a label. I also used to be able to hit enter to make a carriage return on the label and then start typing. No longer.. now when you hit enter it moves the whole label down on the page.

Default Word 2007 to "No Spacing"?
I can't find where to set it, though. That's what I'm asking this whole time
lol. ..... went to look again and found it this time. Thanks so much guys. I had gone to the little button that opens up the Style Pane. I didn't see the little drop down arrow above that where it says "Change Styles" and in there I set to default. "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...
