[Guest]

Please add a "0.5" shortcut item to the line spacing icon in Word 2007 as
this is used extensively by myself and many users.

I can't see what you would use it for unless you're formatting empty
paragraphs ("blank lines"), in which case the proper solution is to add 6
points (more or less) Space Before/After to the paragraph instead.

Thanks Suzanne. I acknowledge that the proper solution is to use the Spacing
options in Paragraph, however, I find using these options tedious, less
efficient and less flexible than formatting blank lines with 0.5 spacing,
especially when changing such formatting regularly/extensively.

OK. I've learnt how to use Spacing properly (ie. adding function to the Quick
Access bar allows adding 6pt space much easier). Its amazing how bad habits
carry over from previous versions. Thanks again Suzanne.

Always glad to nudge a fellow user in the right direction. Now if you'll
just start using styles... <g>

Why not go one step further and define a style for your spacing requirement?
Should you ever need to change the formatting all you need to do is modify
the style and those paragraphs that use the style will automatically update
to your modification.
