One small problem "Mike G" <justme[ at ]idontkno.com> 6/4/2007 7:04:46 PM In word 2007, while generating a letter, I want: Ajax Company 123 Main Street Anytown, XX 12345 Instead I get Ajax Company 123 Main Street Anytown, XX 12345 It seems to me that when I do a return, Word thinks I want a new paragraph and inserts an extra line....TIA

Re: One small problem "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 6/4/2007 10:19:52 PM To add to what Bob said, when you press Enter you *are* beginning a new paragraph, whether you mean to or not. Pressing Shift+Enter inserts a line break, which starts a new line without starting a new paragraph. -- Suzanne S.

Re: One small problem "Mike G" <justme[ at ]idontkno.com> 6/5/2007 12:03:55 AM Yes...I understand. I guess you can have a one line paragraph, or for that matter one word or letter. Now that I think about it more, Word is inserting an extra line in addition to starting new paragraph and thus the problem in my case of doing a TO: FROM: type letter. Word 2000 on my laptop does not do this. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> wrote in message news:uIJnMbvpHHA.4544[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl...

Re: One small problem "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 6/5/2007 12:10:26 AM Word does not insert "an extra line." It is inserting a *line space* (more or less) because the default Normal style is now defined as having 10 pts Space After. -- Suzanne S.
