Change the 'after' default paragraph spacing in Word 2008
That Word is formatting "correctly" is all well and good, except that standard typographical practice is to put two returns after a paragraph. Sure, it dates back to using a typewriter, and yes, proper formatting simple on a carriage return would perhaps be better, but - that's the way it is.
If nothing else, though, just try cutting and pasting text from Word if you haven't put too returns in - your paragraphs are (apparently) "gone". For plain text formatting you really need those two returns. A better option would be for Word to recognise that two carriage returns directly after each other is a new paragraph (perhaps it already does - I haven't experimented in detail.)
Change the 'after' default paragraph spacing in Word 2008
Hi Guys, glad some have found this hint useful. I just want to clarify something, however. I am an English Language Arts teacher, I have worked 10 years in the newspaper industry using AP Style (production, layout, typesetting), and I am a graduate student that uses MLA in writing literary reviews/research. This is why I need the extra space after a carriage return removed. These jobs do not require extra space after a carriage return, in fact, they all require no space after a paragraph. I was not commenting on the use of an extra carriage return vs. use of paragraph styles when extra space is needed. I was helping people that want no space after paragraphs. The fact that this argument was even brought up here is a mystery to me. |
