How to stop Word from double spacing when I don't type all the way to the end of a line?
Hello:
I'm drafting legal briefs. Thus, I'll have something like: Citation: XXX Postu XXX Facts: XXX The problem is that, when I just step out a few Words and press Enter, as opposed to typing all the way to the right margin of the page, Word automatically inserts a double space. How do I get rid of this feature? Thank you, John |

How do I get rid of this feature? Thank you, John For Word 2003 or earlier: Click Format, Paragraph, Indents and Spacing. Make sure Spacing Before and After are set to 0 pt and Line spacing: is set to Single. For Word 2007, click Page Layout on the ribbon, ensure that Spacing before and after are set to 0 pts. The only problem here is that by default this setting won't be saved. To save the 0 pts and single line spacing as the default directly under "After" to the right of the word Paragraph, there is a small down, right point arrow. Click that. In the window that opens set the defaults like that listed for Word 2003, Click the Default button on the bottom of the window, click Yes to the message about changing defaults and then OK out. Hope this helps, let us know. |
