line spacing in an imported word document

[johnfog]

I imported an MS Word (2002) document into Publisher 2002. The Word formating
is lost regarding line spacing. Parapraphs with soft line spacing, i.e. not
using enter to move to the next line, retains the line spacing. But whenver a
line is spaced using enter, or when a blank line is inserted between
paragraphs, the space is twice as large as in the original word document.
This happens without changing the format in Publisher. For my publication,
these spaces are too large. For example, I have a series of short lines
center justified. They need to be in regular paragraph spacing, but because
of my use of enter after each lne, the lines are spacred wide apart.
Help. Thanks.

Format > Paragraph should allow you to change this. Does it?

I received help here on lost formatting a while ago so will pass it on. I
was told to save the Word doc as an rtf and import that into pub. The import
creates a new pub doc from which I copy and paste into my final pub doc.
Works like a charm and is worth the extra steps as previously I was loosing
a lot of formatting.

Hope this helps.
