I am about to give up on Word 2007
New user. I am very experienced on Word 2003.
I am trying to type a letter with and inside address. I want the inside address to look like this: 3 February 2009 first line of address second line of address third line of address Dear Sir: Note that the address lines are single-spaced. However, when I hit the enter key at the end of the first address line, it DOUBLE-SPACES; ditto for the second line. How to I make this goddam thing stop double spacing when I hit enter at the end of a line? |

Go ahead and give up. No one here twisted your arm to give up Word 2003,
which you were apparently quite happy with, for Word 2007. I don't know for certain, but I suspect that your issue is due to the paragraph style that you are using for your address lines. If you are using the out of the box Normal style then it has "spacing" after set in the style definition. You could define your own style, use the built-in no spacing style or use CTRL+Enter at the end of those lines to insert a line break. A-non-i-moose wrote: New user.

I see what you are talking about -- at the top of the page are several styles, one of which has no spacing. A-non-i-moose wrote: New user. I am very experienced on Word 2003.

On the Home Tab, click on the little arrow to the bottom right of the Styles block. At the bottom of the dialog box, click on the right-hand icon - "Manage Styles". Highlight "Normal" (if it's not the top one) and click on "Modify". Change the line spacing to single. Check the box "for all new documents based on this template". OK out. Close and re-start Word. Your line spacing should now be single. HTH -- Asking a question?

I am about to give up on Word 2007
It is truly maddening€”the worst "feature" of W2007, and I really like W2007.
But it's relatively easy to get rid of it in the immediate document. On the Home ribbon, styles group, click change style button style sets Word 2003. That should do it for that document. YOu could also use a style called Normal no space instead of normal. A longer term fix is to modify normal.dotm. If you do get past the early shock of W2007 and decide to stick with it, write back for advice on the next step. PamC A-non-i-moose wrote: New user. I am very experienced on Word 2003.
