I want to permanently switch on the “don’t add space between paragraphs of the same style” feature ( I decide when to add a space) in MS Word
but it turns itself off whenever I move away from that line or start a new doc.
I Use MS word for a lot of non-wordy things, such as creating lists. It anoys me how when I press enter at the end of a list item I get two lines instead of one.
Start Word 2007
Type a few words then adjust the paragraph formatting, font, size, color, numbering, etc to be whatever you want the default to be.
Select the entire paragraph.
On the ribbon with the Home tab selected you’ll see a “Styles” section and one of the styles is is “Normal”. Right click it and choose the first option “Update Normal to Match Selection”
Two clicks. Done.
If you have a bunch of different formats you use, create styles for each. Then just select the appopriate style before you begin typing. Word will apply that style to all subsequent paargraphs until you select a different style.
ETA: I wish the SDMB had spell check.
If you use Firefox 2, there is a built in spell checker.
