How to change formating in html document copied into Word .
I've copied a 2.5 pages of text (invoice form plus legal Terms and
Conditions) from a website into Word 2002. The paragraphs(or lines) have an extra blank line in between them, and to make it fit into two pages I've tried to change the line spacing by using the DEL key, deleting the blank line between two paragraphs(or between two lines). But the line format seems to be locked as doublespaced and using the DEL key just brings the lower paragraph up into the middle of the paragraph above it (where the cursor is, at the end of the line that ends the paragraph). Is there a way to unlock this formatting so that I can change the double spacing to single spacing? I don't want to lose all of the formating that came with this website document, because the placing/location of certain parts of the invoice needs to be retained. jc |

How to change formating in html document copied into Word .
I didn't mention that this new document has sections copied from two
different sources, one of which is the website I mentioned. The first page of the document, the invoice part, is already single spaced. The problem is that the second section (Terms and Conditions) is the one that has double spacing between paragraphs and I'm trying to fit it into the second page(or side) of my new document by making it single spaced, but it's locked in a double spaced mode. When I check in Word, FORMAT/PARAGRAPH, the line spacing is listed as single for my new document. Hope this makes more sense then the first posting. jc "jbclem" wrote in message ...

Look at the paragraph formatting and check the Line Spacing and Space
Before/After settings. Make sure you are not plagiarising someone's work. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "jbclem" wrote in message ...
