Spacing After Paragraphs
I'm using Word 2007. I have the default template set to remove the space before and after a paragraph. When I started typing a new page today, Word is adding a space after a paragraph, line, anywhere I hit enter. I checked and the remove space is still there. Why is it not respecting that setting? How can I change it back? |

From the HOME ribbon, click on the downward arrow in the lower right-hand corner of the “Paragraph” portion of the ribbon (bottom, near center) to get the Paragraph dialog menu. From that menu, under “Spacing”, adjust the Before and After parameters for what you want. Select OK and continue on…

On the Advanced Tab on the Paragraph window, I already have "Don'tadd space between paragraphs of the same style." I also have "Remove space BEFORE paragraph" and Remove space "AFTER" paragraph. I have closed Word and opened it again. Same thing. I restarted the computer - same thing.

Follow JimP's advice, or get used to letting Word put some space between paragraphs. It makes for easier reading.

I always double space when I want a blank line between paragraphs. This just started happening. Why?

You may want to read the entire series. Basic Concepts of Microsoft Word - from Shauna Kelly Reading that will save you time over the next couple of weeks. I know that you reasonably want a program that works the way you want to work. With Word, you can only accomplish that by learning how Word is set up to deal with text. Without that understanding you are trying to get a ball of string up a hill by pushing on the string without rolling up the ball first. Quote:
Word 2010 is definitely an improvement. However, by default, it also puts space between paragraphs. You definitely do NOT want to get Word 2016 until it is a finished product, which, IMO, it is not. It is still better, for most purposes, than is Word 2007. The methods that Jim gave you are much better than the ones you had been using. The methods you had used are in the nature of patches rather than repairs. |
