How to keep Microsoft Word from automatically doublespacing???? PLEASE Help!!
Hello,
A re-occuring problem I've been having w/ Microsoft Word is this- If I put an extra line between one line of text and another, like this... Here is my text Here is the next line .....and if I do this several times, Word automatically starts doing it for me. But when it comes time when I don't want an extra line between lines (i.e. I don't want it double- spaced), I'm unable to do so. In other words, Word automatically double spaces when I push 'Enter'. I have spent hours trying to figure out this problem. I have gone through every possible automatic setting. So if someone could PLEASE tell me how to keep Word from automatically doing this, that would be wonderful!!! Thanks so much everyone for your time and help! |

One thing I forgot to mention is that through the whole process, the
text remains single-spaced. It's just that when I push 'Enter' to start a new line, it puts an extra space between the old line and new line, as if double spacing. However, the spacing settings continue to be set to 'single spacing'.

Hi,
Your problem description sounds like you're using a Paragraph Style formatted with a non-zero before/after space. You can change that via Format|Style|Modify|Format|Paragraph and changing the before/after spacing to 0. Before charging off and doing this, though, it would be best to take some time to learn how to use and create Paragraph Styles, and use one suited to your needs.
