Ms word double space

Word 2007 when the space settings are the same. What you may be seeing is the automatic space change Word 2007 does when you hit the enter key. To stop this, you have to change the "Remove space before paragraph" option. Otherwise, you think you're getting 1.0 or 1.5 or 2.0, but you're really getting an extra space that doesn't belong there. #16 If the default spacing is 1.5, a double-spaced ms. comes out triple-spaced, is that what you're saying? That seems very odd. How are you setting the spacing for the manuscript, and the spacing for the paragraphs? #17 I honestly see no difference at all in spacing between Word 3003 and Word 2007 when the space settings are the same.

Otherwise, you think you're getting 1.0 or 1.5 or 2.0, but you're really getting an extra space that doesn't belong there. Default spacing for MS Word 2007 is 1.15 lines (not 1.5). This is not the space before paragraph thing, I have it checked off. There is a noticeable difference especially when double-spaced. Click on the link in my original post, it'll give you an idea what I'm talking about. The thing is, there is no way to change this from normal paragraph settings, so unless you use both formatting types (which I do), you probably won't notice the difference.

That would be the least 'formatted', I think.I'm sure recent Word rtf double spacing is something they see a lot, so you are probably fine either way.This probably has to do with all of that 'before' and 'after' stuff if you changed it manually, eh? The only time I bother with all that is if I'm using an unusual font that makes things look odd if you don't play around with those settings Thanks, that's great advice about the rtf. I'll check it out.And with doc and docx difference, I'll probably then go back to the MS Word 2003 format.And thanks again, everyone!

#1 Hi Folks,I searched extensively for this answer, I apologize if it's all ready been answered.In Microsoft Word 2007, the default space between lines is 1.15 and in MS Word 2003 it's 1.0. This makes 2007 word documents look quite different, even though they're both "double-spaced". If you're having a hard time visualizing it, Microsoft explains and shows the difference: my question, which is preferred? Does it matter? I like the 1.0, it doesn't look as vacant as the 1.15, but I don't know if 1.15 is like industry standard or something.Edit: I said "space between sentences" before, I meant "space between lines" Last edited: Sep 5, 2011 #2 I've been using 1.5. But that's only personal preference. I have no idea what's preferred. #3 I've been using 1.5. But that's only personal preference. I have no idea what's preferred. For submission, double-spaced is preferred, universally. This is no secret. Under FORMAT-PARAGRAPH-LINE SPACING, one of your options is "DOUBLE". Do that.caw TheIT Infuriatingly Theoretical #4 There's a stickied thread at the top of the Novels forum starting with "THE ANSWERS YOU SEEK ARE HERE" or something similar. It's an index to many useful past discussions. The section on Formatting points to threads that describe standard submission formats for novel manuscripts. #5 Perhaps I wasn't being clear. Yes, I know that you should double-space, that is not my question.Even with double-spacing, the amount of space in between lines is DIFFERENT on default settings from one version of MS Word to another. So if I use MS Word 2007, the space between each sentence is larger than in 2003. The space between each sentence is 1.15 in 2007 and 1.0 in 2003. So which should I use?EDIT: Part of the confusion is that there is no setting for this difference under the normal "paragraph" settings. Click on the link and look at the picture to see the difference. In order to make a 2007 document look like a 2003 document, you have to change the template you are using manually, it is really quite dumb.

Just like you can use whichever font you prefer, or whatever colors your eyes find most pleasant, while writing.When you're ready to submit your manuscript,

Change the spacing to double (or whatever the agent's or publisher's submission guidelines ask for, check first) and standardize your font to Courier New 12 or Times New Roman 12 point (again, check the submission guidelines).-Derek #7 When you're writing, use whichever version you prefer -- it's the content that matters, not the spacing.

Just didn't know if one was preferred. And one more time: I'm not talking about whether or not you should double-space when you submit. Last edited: Sep 5, 2011 #8 I'm confused completely. You speak of the "space between sentences". So do you mean horizontal spacing, or vertical spacing? What is the "space between sentences", other than a single press of the space bar? Which would be the same as the space between words, wouldn't it?caw #9 I'm confused completely. You speak of the "space between sentences". So do you mean horizontal spacing, or vertical spacing?

It should explain it better than I am.I'm talking about the default space between lines in MS Word from one version to another. One literally has more than the other. Sorry, I shouldn't have said sentences, I meant lines. This is what I get for posting so late... dpaterso Also in our Discord and IRC chat channels #10 It probably doesn't matter, but the visual difference between 2003 and 2007 is rather dramatic (yes, even when both are double-spaced). Just didn't know if one was preferred. I'm thinking maybe Tech Help might be a better fit for this, there are folks there who have used MS Word for decades and might have the different versions for comparison discussion.-Derek #11 Okay, thanks. I didn't mean to get bogged down in technicalities. I wish I could show a picture

When adding pictures in MS Word, you cannot merge them automatically. Word forces images to have space between them to give them more order and alignment. However, there is a way you can merge multiple images in Word to make them look like one image or collage.Open Microsoft Word.On the ribbon, click ‘Insert.’Click the drop-down arrow below ‘Pictures.’From the ‘Insert picture from’ menu that pops up, choose ‘This device.’MS Word opens the folders on your device. Choose the location of the pictures you want to merge.When you find the first image, double-click it to insert it into your document, or click ‘Insert.’Repeat the process until all the images you want to merge have been inserted into the document.Alternatively, if all the images are in one folder, there is a quicker way to insert all the images simultaneously.After selecting/ highlighting the first image, hold the CTRL button down.Then, click all the pictures you want to add to the document.When you are done, click ‘Insert.’All the images you selected will be inserted into the document.Right-click on any of the images.From the menu, select ‘Wrap-text.’Doing this opens another menu.From it, choose ‘Square.’Repeat steps 12-15 for all the images.You will notice that all the images have moved slightly. They may even overlap each other.You can start clicking and dragging your images to merge them.To bring the bottom image to the front, right-click it. Then, on the ‘Picture Tools’ tab, select ‘Bring to Front.’Another menu will pop up. From it, choose ‘Bring Forward.’To move the
