[SOLVED] Stubborn Spacing

cazua · 09-15-2007, 04:09 AM

I am currently using Microsoft Office 2007. The spacing ("After") settings always go back to its default of 10pt when I always set it to 0pt. I tried changing the "Paragraph" settings to Single(Line Spacing) and 0pt(Spacing - After), but it changes back to its default of Multiple and 10pt respectively whenever I open a new document. I also checked the option " Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style", and it just goes back to its original which is unchecked. How can I make the settings permanent?

I use MS Office 2003. The way to have a new document carry your favorite formatting is to save it as the document template called normal.dot - replacing the default normal.dot file.

I forget where this file lives, but it should be easy to find.

I somehow did the settings, and clicked "Default" and it worked. o.o
