Eliminating Double-Double space between paragraphs?
I am writing a double spaced research paper. When I press "enter" to start a
new paragraph, the space between the last paragraph and the new one is HUGE (and my professor pointed it out on my draft and said that I needed to eliminate the extra space). If I do NOT press enter to form a new paragraph, but use the space bar to make my new paragraph's first line start on the line just under the previous paragraph, when I try to indent the first line, Word indents the ENTIRE paragraph before (the one that I spaced down from). This is really annoying and a waste of space on a page-limited paper! (besides the fact that if I don't correct it I will lose points on the final draft) |

You probably have some space before/after set. Go to Format | Paragraph and
check the Spacing after and Spacing before. This should be 0 (zero). Does this solve your problem? -- Rae Drysdale "shadykt2" wrote: I am writing a double spaced research paper.
