Multiple page document
Is there a way I can format each page of my document to have separate
spacing? I'm using different formats on each page and I'm having to manual space the entire document (9 pages). |

If you insert a page break after each page, you can give each page different
spacing (Format/Paragraph). Or are you doing that already? |

The problem is the document is always changing and gaining new information. Each time I update, it's always on different pages of the document. Maybe I need to break up the document into sections. You know, save each one as it's own. How would I do that or is there a way to keep the spacing from moving when I modify it? thanks. |

I think the problem is that when Word detects that you started a new
paragraph, or thinks you did, it applies the most recent paragraph formatting, so it doesn't surprise me that jumping around in a document like yours cause these issues. Mayb going to Tools/Options/Edit and de-selecting "Use Smart Paragraph Selection" will help. If that doesn't work, maybe you ought to finish writing your document and re-format it when you are certain that you are done. Saving each page as a separate document will work too, of course. But then you'll have to manage all those files where you used to have only one. |

You don't really need page breaks or section breaks or different documents at all--you can change the spacing for each paragraph using Format | Paragraph, or select several paragraphs first. By spacing, I assume you mean line spacing (double, single, etc)? Format each paragraph as you want it, once. When you update a portion of the document, simply put the cursor at the end of a paragraph and hit enter. That new paragraph will hold the same settings as the previous paragraph. (Or put the cursor at the beginning of a paragraph and hit enter, similar result). As long as you *start* by typing in a section that is already formatted as you want, Word will hold that formatting as you type and create new paragraphs. If that doesn't work, you'll need to say more about how the document is formatted and what you mean by "spacing is moving when you modify it." I suspect the problem is that you have a lot of empty paragraphs creating space, and that those blank spaces are not formatted as you want, and that you keep typing into them. |
