How to set single spacing to 0 for all paragraphs in a style set?
How do you customize style sets in Word 2007? For example, I saved FORMAL as
a new style set name "NEWFORMAL", but how do I set ALL paragraphs to automatically have Spacing After=0 in this style set? I don't want to always have to set every paragraph. I wish Word listed all the possible styles in the style set (e.g. "Paragraph" or "Lists") and allowed us to change individual attributes (e.g. Spacing After=0). |

How to set single spacing to 0 for all paragraphs in a style set?
Most styles have Normal as their based on (or parent) style. Have you tried
modifying the Normal style before saving as a style set? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Roger H" wrote in message ... How do you customize style sets in Word 2007?

How to set single spacing to 0 for all paragraphs in a style s
Stefan, I followed the procedure in Word 2007 help topic HA10030756:
- Load the normal.dotm file - Select Page Layout - Change Spacing After to 0pt - Save - Create new Word doc - Select style set Word 2007 or Formal - Type a word, hit Enter Result: 10pt spacing still exists So instead I edited C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\1033\QuickStyles\Formal.docx, typed a word, changed the Spacing After to 0, and saved it. When I created a new document using this style set the Spacing After was 0. To make the spacing different for paragraphs and for lists, do I need to create a paragraph and a list in the Formal.docx file and alter them separately?

How to set single spacing to 0 for all paragraphs in a style s
In my initial suggestion, I meant that you should *recreate* the style set,
replacing the old one. But, actually, it will be easier to edit the existing *.dotx file, as you have been doing. Instead of applying direct formatting, however, I would recommend actually modifying the styles involved: Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S to display the Styles pane. Right-click each of the style names in the task pane, and click Modify from the context menu. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Roger H" wrote in message ...
