Single-spaced lines in notepad pasting badly into Word2007
I have a group of URLs, single spaced, in notepad that I want to paste
into Word2007. When I do that, they all get inserted as new paragraphs, with an extra line before, so it all looks double-spaced. Is there any way I can set the paste to not use formatting? Alternatively, is there a format I can apply afterwards that will remove that extra line? Thanks for any suggestions.

You can select the text and apply the No Spacing style.

You can change the line spacing for the No Spacing style. Right-click No
Spacing in the styles pane and choose Modify from the context menu. Click Format, Paragraph, and specify "Single" for "Line spacing." Alternatively, you can change the line spacing for the Normal style (which is the "parent" style for No Spacing), or you can change the document defaults (in the Styles pane, click Manage Styles, and then click the Set Defaults tab). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Hollis Paul" wrote in message ...

If that changed the line length, then you have done something wrong--perhaps
changed from Justified to Left alignment. What you want to do is click the dialog launcher (small arrow in the bottom right corner of the Styles group on the Home tab and choose the No Spacing style. Alternatively, you can use Home | Styles | Change Styles | Style Set | Word 2003. -- Suzanne S.

Here I am trying to write a simple paper entitled "The Pitfalls of Net Neutrality in a Christian Country with mostly Christian Legislators and Legislatures" and you want me to be looking for little tiny arrows among a set of controls I hate looking at because they are so crowded and inelegant while I want to be concentrating on the salacious details. Is it too much to ask for a simple switch to turn Word into a simple editor that produces a product that I can paste easily into a Facebook Note? -- Hollis Paul Mukilteo, WA USA

If you're typing something to paste into a Facebook Note, then Notepad or
WordPad would be more appropriate. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Hollis Paul" wrote in message ... In article , Suzanne S.

Alas, I want something that does more than Notepad, though I intend to drop the finished paper into Notepad before pasting it into Facebook. Wordpad might, indeed, be the ticket. -- Hollis Paul Mukilteo, WA USA

When I remarked about the problem to my wife, she said to use the option to keep text only when you OK the paste. That didn't work, but keeping the source formatting did. It picked up a very strange font, but that is easily corrected. Now, this is probably something I can remember. -- Hollis Paul Mukilteo, WA USA

Even after I dropped the word document into Notepad, the Facebook editor treated each sentence as a separate paragraph. So I spent a lot of time deleting CR-LFs and spaces to get the lines to meld properly. Then I couldn't attach a note to a message, so I did it all over again in the message object. Alas, I was ultimately told that the message was too long to send. Real time bummer. Giving up, I posted to my MSMVPS blog and just included a URL to that document in the message. -- Hollis Paul Mukilteo, WA USA
