typing a document

[nmyers4]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)

When I create a new document it displays and prints with big space between the lines even though I have selected single spacing. If I arrow over to the end of the line and type so that the word wraps around, the document displays and prints just like I want it, this really creates a problem when using tab settings. How can I correct this?

It's not actually 1.5-spacing that is the problem. Word changed the
default to add more space between paragraphs, so that each paragraph
will be single-spaced, but between paragraphs, you get extra space.
Paragraphs are created every time you hit enter.

To change in just this document, select all, go to Format | Paragraph.
Look down to the find the Spacing: After field, and change 10 to 0.

To change this in all documents created from now on, change the Normal
style.

First, select Format | Style. Normal should be selected.

Click on Modify--make sure "add to template" is CHECKED. You'll see a
Format menu in the bottom of the dialog--select Paragraph from it, and
change the Spacing: After setting from 10 to 0.
