August 29, 2008

Are you frustrated with changing your default font in each and every new document?  Can't get Word to give you single spacing?  Word decides how your numbered or bulleted lists should look and you ready to pull your hair OUT!

Default Font
Open a new Word document and right click on the blank area.  Choose Font from the context menu.  Select the Font you typically use in your documents, the Font Style, and Size.  Then in the lower left click the Default button, then Yes to change your default document template.

Single Line Spacing
Open a new Word document and right click on the blank area.  Choose Paragraph from the context menu.  Set Spacing Before and After to 0 pt and Line Spacing to Single.  Then at the bottom click the Default button, then Yes to change your default document template.

Numbered or Bulleted Lists - YOU Call the Shots!
Open a new Word document and from the BIG Office Button click the Word Options button at the bottom, and then Proofing.  Open the AutoCorrect Options and unselect items under AutoFormat and AutoFormat As You Type until YOU are back in control!
