Legal Pleading Paper and Line Spacing
When typing the parties in the caption, the lines default to double spaced.
When I convert to single space - the line numbers on the left side of the pleading also go to single spacing. I need to keep double spacing on the line numbers on the left but get single spacing in the caption setting forth the plaintiffs and defendants ..... How do I do this ??? ..... Thanks |

You might try putting the plaintiffs and defendants in text boxes
formatted as "in front of text". Line spacing in text boxes can be different from the paragraph the text box is anchored to.

I would think that there should be a more conventional way to solve this
problem than this. I tried this "text box' Fix-it and this doesn't solve the problem - the line numbers on the left still go to single space when I switch to single space in the text-box. Surely someone out there must be using this template and knows how to handle this ...... one cannot file a pleading with the caption box for the parties double-spaced !!!! Help!

The only way to accommodate this is the way the MS-supplied pleading
templates do, viz., with double-spaced line numbers in a text box anchored to the header. It rather makes nonsense of the concept of line numbering if only every other line is numbered, but you do what you have to do. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I do legal pleadings all the time and setup custom pleading templates for my legal clients. I prefer to use tables for the caption, setting the borders to none so that you don't see the lines of the table. Then you can format each cell as you like it, and that formatting can be completely different from the body of the pleading as well. Hope that helps!

That's the way I do it as well. I don't think it's going to help the OP with
line numbers, though. -- Suzanne S.

Legal Pleading Paper and Line Spacing
How do I access legal pleading line spacing format to create legal documents
(pleadings)? Where is this format, if anywhere, in Windows Vista? I don't know where to begin and I have a brief that needs to be in by next Tuesday!
