Line Spacing Issue for Word for Mac - Office 365 Subscription
Hi, everyone.
I am hoping someone here can soothe my OCD-riddled mind. I am having a weird spacing issue with my current document. I copy and pasted some source material from one document into my current document and, ever since then, I have this strange spacing issue. What's strange to me is when I backspace, I'm able to properly single space my lines per normal; however, the large line space drops further and further down--I cannot get rid of it. Pics are attached as I am not sure how to even really describe this issue. I am using Word for Mac, 2017 via Office 365 Subscription. Thank you so much! |

If you are referring to the blue highlighted/selected areas, it is the setting for space after text, i.e. .95"

Thank you for your reply and for your help. Yes, I was referencing the blue highlighted/selected area.
Changing the .95 didn't fix the issue. I've attached a new screenshot. |

Thank you for your observations. I am actually not familiar with Styles; are you referring to the Styles Pane?
I'll be happy to read up on it. I have been using the enter key to insert blank lines since I started typing-- apparently, I have been doing it wrong! |

You seriously have me thinking that I have been using MS Word incorrectly now forever!

You use the Enter key, once, to end a paragraph and start a new one. More on styles:Those are all Windows articles, but the principles and methods are the same. Some of the commands may be different. Here's another, older, book that may be of interest: The Mac is Not a Typewriter by Robin Williams (no, not that Robin Williams). Even if you are not using a Mac, this is a good read. Word today is very much based on Mac concepts (just as Windows is based on Mac concepts) and the book introduces Word basics along with word processing concepts. The attached screen shot is from another of Williams' books. Last edited by Charles Kenyon; 07-24-2017 at 01:23 PM. Reason: add comma because I'm fussy |

There are 72 points per inch. 43.2/72; do the math. It looks to me that this is about what you are getting. Last edited by Charles Kenyon; 07-24-2017 at 06:06 PM. |

Change the "Spacing After" from 43.25p to "0" and the spacing indicated in the blue area will disappear. Then, you can reset it to what you need it to be.
