Office 2007 question

With the new office 2007, it starts on default double spacing so I constantly find myself clicking the no spacing style on the top. Is there a way to make Office 2007 start on no spacing by default?

 

Yes, you will need to "Modify" the Normal style. Just right click it from the ribbon, hit modify, then change as you wish, and save it. That should do it.

 

Actually, I've tried that and it didn't work. As soon as you hit enter, it changes back to its original settings. I find switching to the Office 2003 Style Set works much better.

 

yea i tried that but it didn't work, here's a screenshot of what i did


I modify both the normal style and no spacing style to have single lines, times new roman and 12 font. For the most part it works, as you can see on the left side i wrote testing, and then for some odd reason, it double space, and went to the no spacing style. It's always the first line that screws up. It goes from normal style to no spacing style. If you see at the bottom where it begins at
Font: (Default) Times New Roman...etc...is it suppose to have the "space after" within that text? Maybe that's what it is screwing up?

 

so is office 2007 designed without this option? Seems a bit strange why they chose the double space style as the normal font.

 

has anyone successfully made it all single space like the default of office 2003?

 

some ideas here?

 

cheers for that link, that worked!
