How do you close up the gap when you hit the enter key to much?
I was trying to add a add'l line of space between the addresses for a letter.
However, I apparently hit the enter key too much & want to close up the gap. |

Delete some of the empty paragraphs; this will be easier to do if you
display nonprinting characters (Ctrl+*). -- Suzanne S.

How do you close up the gap when you hit the enter key to much?
Each time you hit Enter, you create a new paragraph. When you hit enter
several times, you create several empty paragraphs. You need to select and delete all or some of these empty paragraphs: To better understand what happens, do this: Below the Menu Bar in top of the window, look for an icon with this symbol: ¶. Click the icon. The icon is found in the Standard toolbar €“ if you cannot see the icon, go to View Toolbars and make sure that a checkmark appears besides the Standard toolbar. The ¶ icon in the Standard toolbar turns on and off formatting marks (non-printing characters in your document such as paragraph marks and spaces). In your document, you will now see a ¶ for each time you have hit Enter €“ each ¶ represents a paragraph in your document. Click on the first line with only a ¶ and hit the Delete button until you have deleted the empty paragraphs you want. You will see that one of these paragraph marks disappear each time you hit Delete and the text below moves upwards. You may click the ¶ icon in the Standard toolbar again if you want to hide the paragraph marks etc. I suggest that you get hold of some kind of getting started users guide for Word in order to get familiar with the basics. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools €“ Denmark http://www.thedoctools.com/ Document automation €“ add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "enter key gap" wrote: I was trying to add a add'l line of space between the addresses for a letter.
