Hi Scott:
OK, three things:
1) Please do not tack a different problem onto someone else's post. That
is most likely to get YOUR post missed. Post a new message for each new
problem.
2) Most questions are impossible to answer without the version information
we ask for.
3) It saves you a lot of time if you first Search the forum before posting:
you will often see that the answer is already there.
In your case, Daiya posts the answer nearly every day. Here's what she
says:
It's not actually line 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.
Cheers
I have just received my Office for Mac 2008. I am a new Mac user. In Word I
cannot get the single spacing to work. I have gone to Format Style and Format
Paragraph to be sure my settings are correct. I have removed and reinstalled
the program twice but cannot get this bug out. Old documents are not effected
only new documents. HELP!!!!!
