MS Office Forum / Word / Document Management / May 2008How do I stop double spacing after hitting the return key?
The problem occurs when I hit return key. Apparently, this is a formatting problem. Within the paragraph, I have double spacing. But when I finish a paragraph and hit the return key to start a new one, the program automatically double spaces it, which is not what I want. I want my paragraphs to be single spaced from each other within the document. How do I fix this? Thanks. Please email your response to aubiepride@msn.com or at carloswood24@yahoo.com. I appreciate it. Select the double-spaced paragraphs, click on Format | Paragraph | Indents and Spacing, and set Spacing Before and After to zero. > The problem occurs when I hit return key.

I have to do this over and over and over, because I NEVER use the default spacing for lines or paragraphs; even when I click default after setting as you said, it never remains default, I have to change the spacing each and every time to avoid the double-spacing and between paragraphs. Is this a failure of the software or is there something else I can do to make my settings permanent until I change them? (It happens as well with a simple 3-line address macro: sometimes it double-spaces, sometimes not. ? > Select all (Ctrl+A) > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Please email your response to aubiepride@msn.com or at > > carloswood24@yahoo.com.

Select all (Ctrl+A) Format | Paragraph | Indents and Spacing tab Set the spacing before and after to 0 pt Set the line spacing to Single Check the box that says "Don't add a space between paragraphs of the same style" If that doesn't work, you will need to adjust your Normal style setting as follows: Format | Styles and Formatting Select Normal On the pull down arrow and select Modify Click the "Format" button on the bottom left Select Paragraph and follow the instructions above. That should do it! Please let me know if that works!

After you modify the settings in the Paragraph dialog box click the Default button at the bottom and confirm you want to change your Normal template. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/training/HA102295841033.aspx >I have to do this over and over and over, because I NEVER use the default > spacing for lines or paragraphs; even when I click default after setting [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] >> > Please email your response to aubiepride@msn.com or at >> > carloswood24@yahoo.com.

This option is available only for styles, not individual paragraphs. If you want to remove spacing from a specific paragraph, just set the Space After to zero. If the Space After is zero, there will be no space between paragraphs to suppress.  SignatureSuzanne S.
