Word 2007 Bullets Spacing
Hello: My problem is more annoying than troublesome. When I am working in a
document and want to do a bulleted list the first list I do comes out fine! All nice and neatly single spaced between bullets. However, when I go down to a new page on the same document and start another bulleted list, this one comes out double spaced. I have tried everything to get it go single space like the first page's bulleted list, but to no avail. Can anyone help? Thanks! Becky |

Word 2007 Bullets Spacing
Are you creating your bulleted list using a specific Style or by just
applying bullets as direct formatting on whatever Style is applied to the text already? If the latter, then the spacing applied through the Style is automatically be applied to the list; just adding bullets to text doesn't change the spacing specified by the Style. The recommended approach is to define a Style for bulleted lists and use this Style in preference to adding bullets through direct formatting. Alternatively, you can avoid the problem by ensuring that the Style applied to the text of the list uses single spacing. See fellow MVP Shauna Kelly's excellent site (http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/) for more information on working with Styles - especially the information on numbering and bullets. -- Cheers!

You probably done this but what the heck. Highlight the problem text and go to "Paragraph." Down where it says spacing make sure its before and after 0 and single space. 2. Highlight the entire document, click the bullet button. This should remove all of the bullets. Click the button again, it should put them back. 3. At the end of each note, hit delete until the next note comes up next to it. This will make sure there are no extra spaces between the bulleted notes. |
