Occasionally when I copy and paste some text from elsewhere into a Word
document I find that whenever I click "enter" after the pasted text, I get a
double line instead of a single line enter. The only way I can get a single
line "enter" is by using Shift-Enter.

I've looked in the paragraph codes and cannot see what to change to make the
Enter key go back to its normal single line action.

Can anyone help?

Make sure that Spacing before and after are both set to zero for the
relevant paragraphs (or paragraph styles).

I agree with Stefan that this is most likely due to a partially corrupt,
out-of-date or incompatible graphics driver, though it may be the printer
driver too. Both Have effect on the way Word displays.

Thank you both. The pasted material had the spacing set to "Auto". When I
changed it to 0 things corrected themselves.

Thank you. I'm glad I finally asked about it.

I believe you posted in the wrong thread... Could this have been for the
"Duplicating lines. Will not delete; ALL go away." thread in this newsgroup?
