How in Word 2002 can you edit double spaced lines to single space lines when the single space icon is already chosen?

Answer 1

Go to Format>Paragraph and note "automatic" has appeared under Spacing. Replace "automatic" with "0 pt" under both Before and After. This will return unwanted double spacing back to single spacing.

In the same formatting section, down the bottom there is a drop down box that you chose single line spacing in (or 1.5 spacing, or specific pt line spacing). I think its second drop down from the right, pretty much at the bottom of the box

Answer 2
