line spacing vs paragraph spacing
I understand paragraph spacing. When i write I like to delineate points by
using short sentences within a paragraph. Like the old typewriter carriage return - 1 for line, two for paragraph. So how do i set up a line return key so it maintains the same spacing as if word automatically wrapped? I'm using 2007. thanks |

line spacing vs paragraph spacing
One way I've worked around is to set enter/paragraph key to 0 spacing before
& after & single line. Then it's press once for line & twice for paragraph. "WebWalker" wrote: I understand paragraph spacing.

You can insert a line break with Shift+Enter.

line spacing vs paragraph spacing
As Suzanne wrote in her reply, Shift+Enter can be used to insert a line
break within a paragraph. On the other hand, if you are saying that you normally press Enter twice to add spacing between paragraphs, you may want to rethink the strategy... It will be easier to specify some Spacing Before (or After) in the paragraph style that you are using. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "WebWalker" wrote in message ...

Hard to tell, but I *think* he was saying he *is* using Spacing Before/After
and occasionally needs to override it. But I would think that if someone wanted to set off a short sentence, it would be more effective to put it in its own paragraph. Like this. -- Suzanne S.

line spacing vs paragraph spacing
Be aware thought that if you use Shift+Enter in a paragraph for which the
alignment is set to justified, the words on the line that is terminated by the use of Shift+Enter will spread themselves out across the whole width between the margins. To prevent that from happening, you will need to use Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar instead of just the Spacebar between each of the words on such a line. -- Hope this helps.

Alternatively, if you end the line with a tab character before the line
break, it will not be justified. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ...
