Would someone please help me with Microsoft Word?

[Massacure]

I'm writing a paper, and I made a quote with indentations of half an inch on both sides. However now it wants to skip 2 spaces when I hit enter when double spaced, and skips 1 space when I hit enter when singled spaced.

Help!

1. I'm a little confused what you are asking about

But if you have double (line) space selected for your paragraph, it is going to give you double (line) space when you hit return. And the same for single space.

Can you be a little more specific about your problem.

2. Turn off auto format might help

Automatically format a document as you type

1.On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect, and then click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
2.Select or clear the options you want.

For help on an option, click the question mark and then click the option.

Note To turn off automatic formatting completely, clear all the options. For information about what to do if Word still makes automatic changes:


· Make sure that you're on the correct tab when you click AutoCorrect on the Tools menu:

· To control which automatic changes Word makes as you type, click the AutoFormat As You Type tab, and then select or clear the options you want. For help on an option, click the question mark and then click the option.
· To control which automatic changes Word makes to selected document text or to an entire document in one pass, click the AutoFormat tab, and then select or clear the options you want. For help on an option, click the question mark and then click the option.

· If you've cleared the Symbol characters (--) with symbols ( ¾) check box on the AutoFormat As You Type tab (Tools menu, AutoCorrect command), and Word continues to insert symbols, check the list of AutoCorrect entries. On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect, click the AutoCorrect tab, and see if the Replace box contains the symbol Word is automatically replacing. You can turn off AutoCorrect by clearing the Replace text as you type check box, or you can delete the entry by selecting it from the list and clicking Delete.

· Check to see if automatic updating is turned on for the style that Word applied. To turn off this feature, click Style on the Format menu, select the style in the Styles box, and then click Modify. Clear the Automatically update check box.
· If you've cleared the Headings check box on the AutoFormat As You Type tab (Tools menu, AutoCorrect command), and Word continues to add heading styles to your document, clear the Define styles based on your formatting check box on the same tab.

3. "Reveal Formatting"

Select "Reveal Formatting" from the "Format" menu. You should be able to see any formatting attributes applied to the selected text.

You might also try saving the document in RTF format.
