Today’s tip: Fix Double-space between Paragraphs
Q: Space between paragraphs is the default, but I don’t like that. What do I do?
A: I don’t like that either. I’m sure as many people start a paragraph with a tab indent as a double space between paragraphs. To fix this, select the document you want to fix and then:
- In Word: Go to Page Layout>Paragraph>Spacing. Set ‘before’ and ‘after’ to 0–not 10.
- In Google Docs: Go to Format>Line Spacing. Set ‘before’ and ‘after’ to 0.
To make this the default, set the spacing up as you’d like it to be then click the ‘Default’ button at the bottom of the dialog box.
In Google Docs: Set up the page as you want it and then go to Styles drop-down menu>Options>Save current.
