I I have tried all of these suggestions and none of them are doing the job
permanently. I have Office 2003. I changed to Microsoft Word as my e-mail
editoras a possible source for a remedy. I have tried to make NORMAL Style
my e-mail default, but it keeps reverting back to Paragraph Style with double
line-spacing for each new e-mail. I also have tried this in my WORD and I,
too, find the grey box "Make This my Default" is grayed out. This shouldn't
be this difficult, or convoluted, as this is pretty basic stuff. All I want
is NORMAL to be my e-mail default style. What's wrong?

You are making the change in the format of a specific paragraph in a
specific email. You are not making the change in the style itself. If you
want to make the change for all new documents, you must make the change in
the style and write that change back to the template. If, as appears from
this thread, you have Word 2007 and are actually talking about emails rather
than Word documents, then you need to be posting in an Outlook newsgroup,
since only a clone of Word (not Word itself) is used for email in Outlook.

Yes, I have made the adjustments to 0 spacing but I am unable to tick the
box
"Don't add a space between paragraphs of the same style" It comes up faded
not allowing me to tick. When I have made the adjustment, it will work for
one email only, then I am back to going back into Format and re-doing the
instruction. Why will it not stay/remain applied and continue to revert
back
to it's original format. I have read the many communicaitons and hope
perhaps
there is another solution for me to try.

This option is available only for styles, not individual paragraphs.
If
you
want to remove spacing from a specific paragraph, just set the Space
After
to zero. If the Space After is zero, there will be no space between
paragraphs to suppress.

I have to do this over and over and over, because I NEVER use the
default
spacing for lines or paragraphs; even when I click default after
setting
as
you said, it never remains default, I have to change the spacing
each
and
every time to avoid the double-spacing and between paragraphs.
Is
this
a
failure of the software or is there something else I can do to
make
my
settings permanent until I change them? (It happens as well with
a
simple
3-line address macro: sometimes it double-spaces, sometimes not.
?

The problem occurs when I hit return key. Apparently, this is
a
formatting
problem. Within the paragraph, I have double spacing. But
when
I
finish a
paragraph and hit the return key to start a new one, the
program
automatically double spaces it, which is not what I want. I
want
my
paragraphs to be single spaced from each other within the
document.
How do I
fix this?
Thanks.
Please email your response to or at
. I appreciate it.
When I go to format paragraph option the option "Don't add space
between
paragraphs of the same style" is grayed out, How do I make it
active?
