Tip #3751 - Double Space Every Time

Double
Space Every Time
Do you frequently
switch the line spacing in MS Word to double?
Maybe the switch is
happening more often than not?
Wouldn't it be nice
if Word was set to double space all the time and you could switch back
to single spacing during those few times when you need it?
I bet you've even
gone so far as to investigate the Format menu, Paragraph choice, only
to find that there was no Default button in that window to keep the setting.
If this scenario seems
familiar, here's what you need to know.
First, we'll make
the assumption that you use the Normal style from the Styles and Formatting
list. So, it's there that we will make our change. (If you use a different
style or a combination of styles, you'll need to apply this process to
them as well).
On the Task
Pane, go to Styles and Formatting.
Select the Normal
style and click the down arrow on the right.
Choose Modify
from the menu.
When the Modify Style
window opens, you're looking for the Formatting section.
Click the Double
Space button.
Now, in the bottom
left corner, check the "Add to template"
box. (If this step is not completed, the change only affects the current
document, making this step very important).
Click OK.
Voila! Double spacing
is now the default whenever you use the Normal style. Yes!
