You are applying the format change to the paragraph where your cursor is located, and that is all. If, for example, you are on a blank line with one hard return, you have applied the 1.5 spacing command to nothing -- a blank line. To apply to the part of the document that you want to appear with 1.5 spacing, highlight with shift and the arrow keys. Use control-a to highlight the entire document. Then, apply the 1.5 spacing format. It will have the spacing you specify. Good luck!

Greetings Fellow Listers: I'm running Jaws 5 with Microsoft Word from Office 2002; In a machine I built. Problem is this: When I prepare a document in Word and want to change the line spacing, I can not get the change or desired selection to be accepted. I go in to the menu of paragraphs, then tab down to line spacing, then down to say 1.5 lines or double, touch space bar on my choice and tab over to OK and hit enter; But it always prints as a single line document. I'm not much of a word processing expert, so any help should be in baby steps for a first grader; Please! Regards of, MICKEY Yes that's M I C K E Y for my name is the same as the Mouse! Although our names are the same, our ears are not! Ha Ha Ha! May our GOD Bless all of us always! -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
