I am about to give up on Word 2007

New user. I am very experienced on Word 2003.

I am trying to type a letter with and inside address. I want the inside
address to look like this:

3 February 2009

first line of address
second line of address
third line of address

Dear Sir:

Note that the address lines are single-spaced. However, when I hit the
enter key at the end of the first address line, it DOUBLE-SPACES; ditto for
the second line.

How to I make this goddam thing stop double spacing when I hit enter at the
end of a line?

Go ahead and give up. No one here twisted your arm to give up Word 2003,
which you were apparently quite happy with, for Word 2007.

I don't know for certain, but I suspect that your issue is due to the
paragraph style that you are using for your address lines. If you are using
the out of the box Normal style then it has "spacing" after set in the style
definition. You could define your own style, use the built-in no spacing
style or use CTRL+Enter at the end of those lines to insert a line break.

Make that Shift+Enter for a new line. Ctrl+Enter will give you a new page.

A longer term fix is to modify normal.dotm. If you do get past the early
shock of W2007 and decide to stick with it, write back for advice on the
next step.


I've already posted it......
