TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Adding Space between Paragraphs in Word
Some people are in the double-Enter habit. That is, you press
Enter-Enter to end a paragraph, when all Word really needs is a
single Enter. It's a similar disorder to pressing
Spacebar-Spacebar after a period - an utterly useless
affliction in the age of modern word processing, an unnecessary
legacy of the typewriter age. In Word, committing such a sin is
like writing down your stutter.
If you want your paragraphs to have some padding around them you
need to tell Word to stick some space around its paragraphs.
Here's how:
1. Position the toothpick cursor in the paragraph you want
more air around, or mark a block of paragraphs to
affect them all.
The air can be either above or below the paragraph.
2. Choose Format, Paragraph.
The Paragraph dialog box appears.
Make sure that the Indents and Spacing panel is forward.
(Click that panel's tab or press Alt+I, if it isn't forward
already.)
You want to concentrate on the area that says Spacing.
3. To add space before a paragraph, enter a value in the
Before box.
This is space that automatically cushions stuff above the
paragraph.
4. To add space after a paragraph, enter a value in the
After box.
This is space that comes below the paragraph.
5. Click OK.
The paragraph (or paragraphs) now has extra spacing.
For example, to add space after every paragraph - just like
pressing the Enter key twice - specify 12 pt in the After
box in Step 4. The value 12 pt means that there will be just
about one blank line after the paragraph.
