Yes, I am a newbie to Word 2007 and I am cofused. I am using XP with SP2
installed if that helps.
My question is single line spacing.
I am composing a letter and I would like part of the letter to look like:
Example 1:
Tom Smith
213 Tom Smith Drive
Tom Smith, Idaho 44444

Instead, I get:
Example 2:
Tom Smith

213 Tom Smith Drive

Tom Smith, Idaho 44444

I highlighted Example 2,clicked on the format paragraph icon, Option 1's box
is checked.
The spacing between the lines moves up just a small bit but the is still a
space between the name and address.
I have also tried Cntrl + 1 from the keyboard.
Just how do you get example 2 to end up looking like example 1.
Thanks
 
Try inserting a line break (Shift+Enter) at the end of each line to keep the
address block in the same paragraph, since the paragraph formatting includes
some Space After.

Alternatively, you can select the paragraphs for your address and on the
Home tab, in the Styles gallery, click the No Spacing style.

Thanks for showing me another way to do single line spacing. The method that
Suzanne suggested works great and it is nice to have a backup to do things.
I like using the keyboard. Sometimes, it is just faster than using a mouse.
Thanks
 
The method I suggested is based on the way I create letters, using styles
(see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm). Since the following
style for Inside Address is Salutation, I do not press Enter until I am
finished typing the inside address (if I did, I would get a different
style). Both the Inside Address style and the Salutation style have some
Space After (not necessarily the same amount), so they wouldn't be used
interchangeably.
