Hello Everyone....hope someone may be able to help.

Currently, I use Word shortcuts to adjust line spacing in
my documents.  These include:

CTRL+1
Single-space lines
CTRL+2
Double-space lines
CTRL+5
Set 1.5-line spacing
CTRL+0 (zero)
Add or remove one line space preceding a paragraph
Align paragraphs

However, I edit many pre-existing documents where the
individual has set a 6 point "before spacing" or "after
spacing" for each line.

When this happens, I have to go into FORMAT and
PARAGRAPH, and manually adjust SPACING BEFORE / AFTER to
Zero.

I have searched for a way to reset this spacing to zero
using keyboard shorts, and could not locate any.

Does anyone know how to do this with a keyboard
shortcut?  Or...is there a way that I can remove all
formatting, and start from scratch (by the way, CONTROL,
SHIFT, Z does not change LINE SPACING BEFORE/AFTER either.

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Thank-you :)

Geoffery,

CTRL+a, CTRL+q, and CTRL+spacebar will remove most
formatting including paragraph before and after spacing.
CTRL+SHIFT+N will apply normal formatting.

Ctrl+0 twice will change the 6-pt spacing (or any other) to 12-pt and then
remove it.
