Stupid question, I know. Besides just hitting enter after each line, I mean. I pasted something in here and it's doing it automatically now and I don't know how to make it work for other text. Any advice?

It's for a paper, people, show a little charity.

Go to Format, Paragraph. You should be able to select the line spacing for the paragraph there.

But, then again, I use Word, not Wordpad. [Dont Know]

All that adjusts is indentation and alignment... I wish I had word on this machine. I reformatted a while ago, and then never found the Office Cd.

I can't find that option in WordPad. [Dont Know]

Is Word not an option? It's easy to do in Word.

My friend says you can't.... I wonder why it does it with that segment I copied and pasted?

Posted by eslaine (Member # 5433) on :

If you have that example, try the format painter.

Or copy and paste it into a new document.

Try copying and pasting that segment in again, then just type right ontop of it and WordPad may "remember" the formatting. A kind of stop-gap solution but if you're desperate...

Is it actually double-spacing it, or putting two hard returns between each line?

I would just write it all out, then when you get on someone's computer that has Word put it into double space format and save it. If you need it double-spaced, you're going to have to do that eventually anyway. [Smile]

I'm also pretty positive you can't... though you could always just download a free word processor and use that.

Posted by Book (Member # 5500) on :

Found out how. You highlight everythin and hit ctrl-2.

Thanks for the help, though.

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

Cool! *makes a note*

Posted by advice for robots (Member # 2544) on :

Huh. That works in Word as well, but I'm on a Mac. I thought it was a Mac thing.

Posted by eslaine (Member # 5433) on :

Neat. Hope I never have to use that, though.
