Line spacing

When I cut and paste from another document in a different font I sometimes find the line spacing is double but I cannot remove it. How do I do this?

RE: Line spacing

You can alter line spacing through the Format - Paragraph dialog box and changing the value in the line spacing dropdown. Also, when pasting in from another document, try to use Edit - Paste Special and select the unformatted text option. This will being the text across but not the formatting and you might find this easier to reformat according to the style of the destination document.

RE: Line spacing

Thanks Anthony. How do I use the Edit - Paste Special function please. When I go to Edit I only have Paste as an option.

RE: Line spacing

Leona,

Ensure you have copied something to the clipboard first.
Word sometimes disables the 'paste special' option if none of the 'paste special' options applies to the item you have copied.

Regards, Rich

Word tip:

Multiple Cut and Pastes in MS Word

If you need to cut and paste more than one selection into a document, you don't need to Cut & Paste repeatedly, just use the built in SPIKE feature.

To use; you can Cut two or more items from nonadjacent locations. This adds those items to the Spike's contents. Then paste the items as a group in a new location or document. The items remain in the Spike so you can insert them repeatedly. If you want to add a different set of items to the Spike, you must first empty the Spike's contents.

Here's how to do it:
Step 1: To move an item to the Spike, select the text or graphic you want, and then press CTRL+F3. You can repeat this step for each additional item you want to move to the Spike.

Step 2: Place your cursor where you want to insert the Spike's contents.

Step 3: select keystroke CTRL+SHIFT+F3 to insert and empty the Spike's contents
