Formatting problem in WORD 2007
I edit a quarterly fraternal publication. One of the office staff listed
the names of the deceased members for a booklet (28 pages) to be handed out at the Convention. I, in the past, have gotten these names from the computer in the office later for inclusion in my quarterly publication. I did the same this year but something is drastically different in the list. There are NO formatting marks with the exception of the dots indicating spaces between names and one final paragraph mark at the very end. No paragraph marks, no manual line breaks, nothing! I turn the "formatting" on and off and all that changes are the dots between words. The format paragraph function decreased spaces between about half of the lines in the list and the rest remain with more than a single space between lines. Since I can't see the indicators I do not know what I've got. It is probably a template thing but I don't have the smarts to fix it. HELP! |

Maybe it is just one long list of names without any line breaks and only
normal window wrapping? Can you post it somewhere where we can see it or edit it? -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Ed Mullikin" wrote in message ... I edit a quarterly fraternal publication.

A page is 6.5" wide, one name per line. The paragraph spacing is "after
10pt, spacing multiple at 1.15". The gal that did it has NO idea what she did. It just looked good so she did it. I'd be very glad to post it but I'm not into that aspect of the Internet. Do you have any other suggestions? Would an e-mail to some address work? I've been usung WORD for years and can usually figure things out but I am stumped on this.

I finally got it! I stumbled on the little box that said "clear all
formatting" and it worked. I don't know what was there before but I'm OK now. "Ed Mullikin" wrote in message ... A page is 6.5" wide, one name per line.
