Where are you copying from? And what is the paragraph spacing in the document you are copying FROM? The spacing comes with whatever you are copying so you would need to change it BEFORE you copy it ... though I = agree Word 2007 has been buggy with spacing for me too. =20 Or, you can click on the Office button, then click on the Word Options button ... click on the Advanced button on the left, then at the bottom, change the "Pasting between documents" to "Match destination formatting" = ... then click OK. Then try pasting again and see if it still double spaces = it. Since I'm still experimenting with Word 2007 myself, I'd be curious to = hear if this fixes your problem. ******************************* Linda F.
