how to change the paragraph spacing in word

Thanks for your reply, this is what I did, please confirm if it's the correct procedure: If the style is in the document and you paste from Notepad text will take on characteristics of the paragraph style it is pasted into. The styles must be getting in the document via some other route than Notepad. If everything else fails, explicitly paste in plain text format via Home tab | Paste | Paste Special. Once the styles have been applied to text in your document, pasting text may give you undesired formatting of course. You can change the setting for 'Pasting from other programs' to 'Keep text only' in File tab | Options | Advanced (look under 'Cut, copy, and paste').īut note that you will have to remove the undesired styles that have already been pasted into the document. This shouldn't happen if you are pasting in plain text format.Ģ. I've noticed that after few pastings, I had quite a few Normal (web) styles in my style list, and it keeps growing when I try to insert new texts from web pages.ġ. Is there anyway that I can tell Word NOT to insert styles from other docs/sources? The text that I'm trying to insert has paragraph spacing before & after set to auto, but my doc has it default to 0, so every single time I inserted a text, I had to highlight the inserted paragraph and remove manually the spacing before and after.Ģ. In my document I have bullet list, and when I tried to modify a style, it removed most of the numbered bullets, where in the style can I set/keep the numbered bullet?ġ. When I opened up style window, I saw lot of styles in there, lot of them has (web) in it, I tried a few of them and all of them are grayed out.ġ) How can I set/change the default if the Set as default option is grayed out?Ģ) How can I delete those 'extra styles' in my style list? How can I set a default in style in Word 2010? I'm doing a lot of cut/paste from web pages, so in my document, I set the Paste default to plain text (except for paste from the same document, which I used Keep source formatting), this didn't work, so I tried to change the default in my style, and to my surprise, it was grayed out. I'm new with 2010, I used to work with MS Office 2003 and having trouble with Word 2010 paragraph spacing setup as default.
