Word 2007 H&S changing the default line spacing
I read the 6-25 posts and responses. I am unable to get the default to save
to single spacing. Although the steps in the previous posts were a little different than what I see, I found the correct places to make the changes. It will not save "New documents based on this template". It always reverts back to "Only in this document". Please advise. Thanks. |

That behavior is by design. Word only transfers style settings to the
template when you tell it to do so. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Steve T" wrote in message ... I read the 6-25 posts and responses. I am unable to get the default to save to single spacing.

Word 2007 H&S changing the default line spacing
Is there no way to set the default for new documents to no spacing?

Open normal.dotm. Set the style at the cursor to the no spacing style (or
edit the normal style to have no spacing) type a character. Delete it and save the template. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Steve T wrote: Is there no way to set the default for new documents to no spacing?

Word 2007 H&S changing the default line spacing
I did exactly as advised for both scenarios. What now happens is when I open
a new document and start typing and if I hit return, it double spaces. Any return or new line after that is single spaced. If I type a full sentance with no return or new line and let it automatically word wrap, it single spaces. How do I correct this? "Graham Mayor" wrote: Open normal.dotm.

Word 2007 H&S changing the default line spacing
What does the style indicator suggest are the styles at the cursor on the
first line and on the subsequent paragraphs? How are those styles setup with relation to both the paragraph spacing, line spacing and following paragraph? Change those three parameters to achieve the require results. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Steve T wrote: I did exactly as advised for both scenarios.

Make sure to set Spacing Before/After to zero for the style you are using.

Word 2007 H&S changing the default line spacing
this works too:
open a new doc, click page layout tab, set the 'after' spacing from 10 to 0, then directly under that where it says 'paragraph' there is a little button to the right that opens the paragraph dialog box. when that opens there is a 'Default...' button. click that and it asks if you want to save these settings as the default for 'Normal' layout. click yes. close word and go back in, it will always default to single spaced.
