Apparent Error in line spacing
Help. After a year of being able to type documents with my Word, suddenly it
is automatically double spacing. I checked the format and it is set on single space. The only way I can get the document to single space is to keep typing to the end of the line, then it wraps around in single space format. But to type a letter with address heading or anything else that I need to hit enter and return to another line before reaching the end of the right margin, it double spaces. I have not been able to write any letters. Mel

Apparent Error in line spacing
When you hit Enter at the end of the line, you are creating a new
paragraph. The spacing between paragraphs is not controlled by the "line spacing" but instead by the Space Before and/or Space After setting in the Format Paragraph dialog. If you don't want any space between paragraphs, set both of those to zero. Most likely it's part of the definition of the style (maybe the Normal style) applied to that text, so see http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Apparent Error in line spacing
To add to what Jay has said, even if you do have space between paragraphs,
you can use a line break (Shift+Enter) to start a new line without starting a new paragraph. This is the suitable solution for, say, verses of poetry within a stanza. -- Suzanne S.
