Why does Enter make cursor skip a line?
I am using Word 7. I have sent my line spacing to Single, but when I hit
Enter the cursor moves down two lines, not one. What else do I need to set to cause the cursor to move down to the next line? |

Why does Enter make cursor skip a line?
Hi,
That is one of the main things that users have trouble with once they experience the new version of Office compared to older ones. It is very simple to fix that problem. In the "Home" Tab make sure you browse through the "Style" box and select the second box that says "AaBbCcDd No Spacing." That should fix it. Even though you were trying to play around with the "single" spacing property it still doesn't change the spacing between sentences. I really don't know why Word has made that change which I find a little bit frustrating. Hope you find this helpful, Vicente. -- Vicente Tulliano "Ginny" wrote: I am using Word 7.

... and you can save this setting in the Normal.dotm template so that it is
automatically set for new documents. Type in "change normal template" in Word Help to see how to do this.

Word 7 is Word 95! I assume you mean Word 2007?
Word 2007 has a different normal style configuration that includes inter-paragraph spacing and a slightly larger line spacing than earlier versions. You can easily adopt the earlier style settings by using the Word 2003 style set from the Home Tab Styles Change Styles Style Set. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Ginny" wrote in message ...
