my document is now double spaced and I can't seem to fix it.
Help!
I have been working on a lengthy document in Word. One day when I was proofreading and working on a TOC, the document suddenly became double space. When I checked the formatting it is still listed as single spaced, but looks and prints in double space. How can I fix this. Thanks! |

Check the space before and after your paragraphs, not your line spacing.
Format | Paragraph | make sure the space before and after is set to zero. -- Carol A. Bratt, MCP "Jennifer H" wrote: Help! I have been working on a lengthy document in Word.

Carol,
Thank you so much for the tip about spacing. I don't really understand the "what" of what happened, but your suggestion worked. Thanks. Jennifer "Jennifer H" wrote: Help!

Likely a combination of the bug that causes the Normal style to be set to
update automatically (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting...eformatted.htm) and inadvertently pressing Ctrl+0, which adds 12 points Spacing Before to a paragraph. I suggest you investigate the first problem because, if it hasn't been corrected, it will come back to bite you whenever you apply any kind of direct formatting to any paragraph. -- Suzanne S.
