Thanks for replying Karl, but that didn't work. I tried an existing file, Ctrl+A (highlighted everything), but Ctrl+1 did nothing. So I tried a new file, then did Ctrl+1, pasted the text, still double-spaced. This is for WordPad remember, not MSWord, if that's why it doesn't work. -Clint God Bless, Clint Hamilton, Owner www.OrpheusComputing.com www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com www.OrpheusComputing.com/cheap_reliable_web_hosting.html www.OrpheusComputing.com/PCworks-computer-help-email-list.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karl Springer" On 14 Mar 2010 at 10:27 -0500, Clint Hamilton-PCWorks Admin wrote, at least in part: > Every time I try and past ANY text into WordPad (or a Rich > Text document), it's always double-spaced!

In XP: - For text already double-spaced, <Ctrl+A>, <Ctrl+1>. - For a new file, <Ctrl+1>, paste or type in text. For double-space, use <Ctrl+2>; for spaced 1-1/2, <Ctrl+5>.
