MS Word 2007 - Double Spacing Lines by default - how to turn off ?
Hi I am struggling with this new POS MS Word 2007 (at least I think it is 2007 - there is no Help/About menu by which I can tell). For some reason you get a double-spaced document when you start MS Word and eventually I found a place were you can get at the spacing (I'd tell you where it is but I cannot find it again). If you click/unclick a lot of checkboxes several times and alter the line spacing then you can turn off this double spacing thing. I tried getting Word 2007 to stay un-double-spaced but it does not seem to work. Does anyone know how I can fix this ? I don't have a copy of the previous Word to get on with any work and I am having to draft in TextPad and paste into a saved document in MS Word then fool with the formating in there to create a new document. TIA |

On the Home tab, go to Styles block, and click on Change Styles. Select Word 2003, and then click on "Set as Default". HTH |

If you have the Office Button (the Pizza) in the top left corner, you have
Word 2007. The Pizza is really just the old FILE menu and opens if you click on it or use Alt+F (note that when you press ALT, Word will display all the shortcuts for the various menus and ribbons). The 'double-spacing' is in fact the Paragraph formatting, Space After setting. Simply edit normal style so that Space After is set to zero. On the Home Ribbon, right-click on NORMAL in the Style Gallery and choose MODIFY. IN the dialog, check the 'New Documents based on this Template' button and then select FORMAT, Paragraph and in the Format Paragraph dialog, change the Space After setting to zero. Click on OK, OK and close Word. Say YES to the question to save changes to the global template. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP wrote in message ...

Normal style line spacing in 2007 is set at multiline or 1.15 (of the point
size) instead of single. You may want to change that too. PamC Terry Farrell wrote: If you have the Office Button (the Pizza) in the top left corner, you have Word 2007.
