I have a paper for English class and the guidelines say I need to indent and single space quotes over three lines. I know I can press ctrl + tab to get a specific line to be indented, but how do you make only specific lines single spaced, not the entire paragraph?? Help! The paper is due tomorrow!

Thanks,

Steve

Just high-light the long quotations and then up at the top where the icon for line spacing is switch it to single-space.

Switch back for the rest of the paper.

If I highlight those lines and go to paragraph, spacing, single space, it changes the ENTIRE paragraph.

Hmmmmm... I wonder if it's because you have Word 2007. They must have made some changes.

Okay, check this out and scroll down to "Change the line spacing in a portion of the document"

Yeah I have Word 2007... I tried what the article said but it still changed the whole paragraph... ugh.

okay. Before you started the long quotation, did you hit 'enter' and then tab to indent? If you didn't hit 'enter', do so, just like you'd start a new paragraph.

Autoformat is on and when I press enter it creates a new paragraph (with an indent). The indent is not the issue, i use ctrl + tab and it will indent, but I need to single space a section of the paragraph

Try it with autoformat off.

I'll just tell my teacher it didn't work. She'll understand. Thanks for your help tho
