Enter Key, Carriage returns
This is a simple issue, but I cannot find how to fix it in word 2007. When I
hit the "enter" key instead of giving me a carriage return to start a new paragraph it gives me a space beneath the last line of my paragraph. So it looks like this - the text of the last sentence in my paragraph is here and the next line is a spce down. And then the next line of text is a space down. I do not want spaces between my paragraps. How and where do I fix this. In older versions of Word it was easy. I dont even know where to do it in 2007 |

Enter Key, Carriage returns
On the Home tab, click at the right hand end of the paragraph section of the
Ribbon to show the Paragraph dialog box. It that is the way that you want it to be all of the time, modify the paragraph format in the Normal Style. Note however, that if you want to start a new line without starting a new paragraph, you use Shift+Enter. -- Hope this helps.

Enter Key, Carriage returns
This is simple Space Below setting in Paragraph formatting. It is normal to
have space between paragraphs as it aids readability. If you are creating a series of single line paragraphs, say you are writing a poem, you can create a style that excludes the space or use a line feed (Shift+Return) rather than a paragraph return. It all depends on what you are trying to create. Note that when I start a new paragraph - like this - I add a space so that it clear to readers. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Waningphilosophic" wrote in message ...
