Mac Forum / Applications / Word / May 2008Space between paragraphs of the same style
Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Processor: intel Checking the box next to "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" under Format - Paragraph - Indent and Spacing does not keep. Does anyone know how to make this a permanent fix or a rule? It's annoying! Also, does anyone know how to set a default font for Word documents? I never use Cambria; I want to be able to open Word and start typing in Times New Roman or Arial Format | Font, pick a font, then select the Default button, and it will change your default. Question--are you using the "don't add space" checkbox to workaround the issue where there is a default 10pt space after each paragraph? If so, there is a better way to fix that permanently. > Version: 2008 > Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) > Processor: intel > > Checking the box next to "Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" under Format - Paragraph - Indent and Spacing does not keep.

I never use Cambria; I want to be able to open Word and start typing in Times New Roman or Arial So, how do you do this? I want to type a list in singlespace, and every time I hit return it adds a space between the item and the item above it. I can't turn this off with regular spacing options. What is the permanent way to fix it? This is so asinine--if I wanted a doublespaced list I could easily make one, so why do they force it on you? Please tell me how to stop this! Thanks. > Question--are you using the "don't add space" checkbox to workaround the > issue where there is a default 10pt space after each paragraph?

I never use Cambria; I want to be able to open Word and start typing in Times New Roman or Arial It's not actually double-spacing that is the problem. Word changed the default to add more space between paragraphs, so that each paragraph will be single-spaced, but between paragraphs, you get extra space. Paragraphs are created every time you hit enter. To change in just this document, select all, go to Format | Paragraph. Look down to the find the Spacing: After field, and change 10 to 0. To change this in all documents created from now on, change the Normal style. First, select Format | Style. Normal should be selected. Click on Modify--make sure "add to template" is CHECKED. You'll see a Format menu in the bottom of the dialog--select Paragraph from it, and change the Spacing: After setting from 10 to 0. > So, how do you do this? > I want to type a list in singlespace, and every time I hit return it adds a space between the item and the item above it.
