Line spacing issue

Post by Dilan »

PLEASE HELP ME! ;)

I downloaded the lates version and now all of my spacing is 1.5, even if I set it to 1.
I've changed paragraphs, page, even font.
Using New Times Roman.

The only way I can get the document to do single spacing is to highlight ALL, clear formatting, and then make single space.
This happens EVERY time I'm on a new or existing document.

How do I change this?

Anyone? :(
It is not a computer or font issue.

It is a User issue: without a sample file we are guessing in the dark.

Yeah right.
I just woke up one day and decided I could no longer use the programs/files I use 12 hours/day!
Come on.
Wouldn't it be more helpful, and KIND to suggest the type of file to provide?

Have you tried resetting your user profile? Since it's not a problem being seen by other users, the problem is probably caused by some corruption on your system.

Hi Bill, can you tell me what you mean by "user profile"? For my Mac? That's the only profile I have - none for open office.

Details of the OpenOffice user profile for the different operating systems is given in
[Tutorial] The OpenOffice User Profile

A sample file showing the problem is still the quickest way to get ths solved.
