Recently updated to Office 2007? Here’s something you might find useful
Posted by Mysti under IT Information , General
There is no doubt that Office 2007 is an improvement on previous versions, but there have been a couple of things that we have found to be slightly annoying. One of these is line spacing between paragraphs.
You may notice that the default settings in Word have changed, one aspect of this is that Word will automatically add a line between paragraphs, which can be somewhat annoying especially if you are trying to write a list. To turn this feature off permanently, or to change the default formatting in any way for that matter, simply go to the bottom arrow under Styles on the Home ribbon
- Then select Apply Styles and click Modify… From here you can modify the default setting for the ‘Normal’ style.
- Now to turn off the line spacing between paragraphs click on Format and select Paragraph…
- Now place a tick in the Don’t add spaces between paragraphs of the same style box and click OK.
- Select the New documents based on this template box and click OK.
From now on all new documents you create under the ‘Normal’ style will not add a space between paragraphs. You can also make other changes to the default formatting through the Modify Style box, for example change the default font.
Alternatively if you just want the formatting to go back to the way it was in 2003 then on the Home ribbon click Change Styles then Style Set. Now click Word 2003.
