How do I stop double spacing after hitting the return key?
Hi Pamela
Thank you for the tip. The problem I am having is the box re don't add space is faded out and I'm unable to tick it. So I can only use the the change to the new setting of the spacing to 0 before having to go back again to reset it. Can you help? Thanks Colette "pameluh" wrote: Select all (Ctrl+A) Format | Paragraph | Indents and Spacing tab Set the spacing before and after to 0 pt Set the line spacing to Single Check the box that says "Don't add a space between paragraphs of the same style" If that doesn't work, you will need to adjust your Normal style setting as follows: Format | Styles and Formatting Select Normal On the pull down arrow and select Modify Click the "Format" button on the bottom left Select Paragraph and follow the instructions above. That should do it! Please let me know if that works! Pamela "assisi61" wrote: I have to do this over and over and over, because I NEVER use the default spacing for lines or paragraphs; even when I click default after setting as you said, it never remains default, I have to change the spacing each and every time to avoid the double-spacing and between paragraphs. Is this a failure of the software or is there something else I can do to make my settings permanent until I change them? (It happens as well with a simple 3-line address macro: sometimes it double-spaces, sometimes not. ?

But when I finish a paragraph and hit the return key to start a new one, the program automatically double spaces it, which is not what I want. I want my paragraphs to be single spaced from each other within the document. How do I fix this? Thanks. Please email your response to or at . I appreciate it. |
