Hi Jim,
Yes indeed. I am suggesting modifying the Style in Word. If it is simply
text, it will likely be Word's "Normal" Style which is used.
If you modify that, it can be saved as part of the Normal Template. (Confusing
using the same name, I know) Once done, you won't have to remember to do it
again.
If needs be, and you have Skype where I can see your screen, perhaps we can
arrange to show you how to do it.

Hi George Et Al
Thanks for all replies
Roger, I tried your method but it didn't show in a new document after making
the changes you gave.
George, is your suggestion different to what Roger described?
Janet, I already tried the Control 1 etc method but unfortunately that doesn't
work either.
Joe, I used the method I described in my origional message on a 13 page
document I created a few months ago and after putting in the single line format
the document reduced to 9 pages, quite a saving on paper when printing!

Hi Jim,
If you feel brave, it can be set for the appropriate Style within the Template
you use in Word.

Subject: [access-uk] Line Spacing in Word
Hi,
Using Windows 7, Office 2010 and JAWS 15
I've been told by a sighted person that when creating a new document in Word
2010 there is a larger gap between lines of text, almost to the point of being
the equivalent of double line spacing. Using the checking format keystrokes in
JAWS (Ins+F) it tells me that line spacing is "1 Line" and not "single" as was
in Word 2003 which left a narrower gap between lines of text.
According to the Word Help facility you can set line spacing to single by using
the following keystrokes:
Alt followed by H,G and then scroll down the list to Word 2003 and press Enter.
This then gives me "Single Line Spacing"
This is a bit long winded if I have to do this every time I want to create a
new document as I can't find a way of keeping this setting as my default.
Is there a way of changing the "1 Line" in Word 2010 to a smaller gap between
text, for example .5 or.75 and then set it as the default?
Hope this all makes sense to anyone out there.
Jim Williams
