Line spacing - Word 2008 for MACs

[shunhoff]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Hey all -
I've recently learned that in the 2008 version of word -- the "single space" line spacing is not 1.0 (as it was in previous versions) but rather 1.15. I've found a bunch of websites telling me how to fix it for a PC -- but nothing for a Mac.

Basically what I'm looking for is a Mac version of this website:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA102310271033.aspx

That tells me how to convert the line spacing back to the Word 2003 1.0 spacing.

To clarify - I am concerned with the spacing between lines WITHIN a paragraph -- NOT spacing between paragraphs themselves.

Help??

Check to make sure you have the latest version 12.2.3 That should have
been set to zero instead of 10.

If not go to Format Menu. Choose paragraph. click on indents and spacing
make sure everything is set to zero. if yours is showing 1.5 then
spacing after will be set to 10. Someone at MS thought everyone would be
using to create a report or dissertation. instead of basic personal and
business letters.

Yeah - I've done all of that.

Everything is set at 0.

Then that's all there is to it. The 1.15 Lines spacing *was* set as the
default when Office 2008 was originally introduced just as it was in Office
2007. That was reset to 1.0 by an update quite promptly in Office 2008.
