Problems Reformatting with a new style

[MizMar]

The doc has extra lines between paragraphs. Applying my new style does not
remove them. How to do this in a one-time operation? The new style also does
not change the original para. indentation to the new setting.
Thank you for any help. Word 2003.

Assuming that the spacing is not caused by empty paragraphs - click the ¶
button (CTRL+*) to check, modify the paragraph style applied to your
documents to remove the inter-paragraph spacing and to apply the indent. If
that style is 'Normal' better still create a newstyle that does these things
(or modify the built-in Body Text style) and apply it as appropriate. While
you are working in the modify style dialog, ensure that you remove the check
from the automatically update styles check box, or you will find yourself
constantly battling with changed styles.

If Chinese is enabled anywhere on your computer (even if you just have
a Chinese font installed!), don't use Ctrl-Spacebar, but Ctrl-Shift-Z
to clear manual character formatting.

If you don't have a US keyboard (and don't immediately see the toolbar
button Pamelia mentions), then rather than Ctrl-*, type Ctrl-Shift-8
to Show Non-Printing Characters.
