LINE SPACING IN MS WORD 2007

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

We all have our own way of setting up our own document – our own “look” sot to speak. Many folks like single spacing in their documents. Me, I prefer lots of room between my lines of text simply because it is easier for me to read and edit. In any event, line spacing is a very important factor in your document formatting.

The default line spacing in version 2007 is 1.15. Luckily, it is fairly simple to format your line spacing in this version.

Follow the steps below to learn how:

  1. On the Home tab of your Ribbon, in the Paragraph group, click on the Line Spacing button.
  2. You will see lots of choices, such as 1, 1.15, 1.5, 2, 2.5 or 3.
  3. Select the line spacing that you prefer.
  4. For a more granular line spacing, in the Spacing menu, click on Line Spacing Options.

Told you it was easy didn’t I?

CHANGE DEFAULT FONT IN MS WORD 2007

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

The default font in MS Word’s Normal template is Calibri 11. I like it myself, but lots of folks do not.  Change is always painful, but I prefer to try something for a while before I make my decision. But if you are one of those folks who knows immediately whether you love or hate something, this tip is for you.  If you are married to Times New Roman you can certainly have it your way!

Follow the steps below to learn how:

  1. On the Home tab, click the Styles group button to open the Styles window.
  2. Click the Manage Styles button.
  3. Select the Set Defaults tab.
  4. Scroll to and select the font you would like.
  5. Under Size, click 12.
  6. Select New Documents Based On This Template.
  7. Click OK.

Now, when you open a new document it will have your favorite font and you will not have to reinvent the wheel every time!

Where is Close All and Save All Command in Word 2007?

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

In previous versions of  MS Word it was easier to use the Close All and Save All command.  All you had to do was click the Shift key and hold it while you simultaneously clicked on File. The menu would then display those commands for you.

Unfortunately, these commands are not as readily available to you in version 2007.  Fear not though, you can still use these commands.

Follow the steps below to learn how:

  1. Click the small drop-down arrow to the right of your Quick Access (QAT) toolbar and select More Commands.
  2. Click on Customize in the left column.
  3. Click on Choose Commands From drop-down arrow and select Commands Not in the Ribbon.
  4. Select Close All.
  5. Click on the Add button.
  6. Select Save All.
  7. Click on the Add button.
  8. Click OK.

You will now have access to those commands on your QAT.
