0 PL_ Veteran Posted December 18, 2007 Veteran Share Posted December 18, 2007 Check to make sure Double spacing isn't enabled. You can see by right clicking the page, choosing Paragraph, and seeing the spacing option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 spacer Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 It spaces two lines because <Enter> inserts paragraph breaks in Word'07. If you hold <Shift> and then hit <Enter> it will insert the normal new-line that you're used to. Sorry, but I'm not sure how to turn it off. Just try looking over the options panel.

0 Dick Montage Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 This is not double spacing. This is ending a paragraph and starting a new one - hence the larger space. Shift+enter is just a new line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 PL_ Veteran Posted December 18, 2007 Veteran Share Posted December 18, 2007 Ah yes, I remember now - and if I'm not mistaken there is a box you can check in the Paragraphs dialogue box to turn this off :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 +jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted December 18, 2007 Subscriber² Share Posted December 18, 2007 It's normal behaviour though, it might just be a good idea to get used to it - or you'd have to configure for all computers you work on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 NateB1 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 In the Paragraph group, click the line spacing button. At the bottom, there should be an option to "remove space after paragraph." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 spenser.d Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 If I understand what you're talking about - you can fix it by simply going to the 'Style' section under the Home ribbon and hit the style next to the default choice (default is labeled 'Normal', you want 'No Spacing'). -Spenser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 briangw Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 The way I turn it off is highlight the area, right click and make sure you change the before and after spacing to 0. Then, if you want to, after saving the fille, erase the contents of the doc and save it as the Default template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
