Cindy, this is taken from the volunteer manual on proofing with MS Word. It says not to do it for books with tables, but I'm not sure what it does to tables, or what to do if the book contains tables. Judy wrote this up, and may have the answer for what to do about books that contain tables. The line spacing is toward the end of this step.
12. Standardize paragraph format (this step is for books that do not contains tables).
Select all text with a control a (hold down the control key while tapping the a key
once)Under your version of Word's paragraph formatting menu, set the indents and spacing
as follows: Alignment: left or justified (either choice is acceptable) Indentation left: zero Indentation right: zeroFirst line indent: by: 0.2 (chose a number from 0.2 to 0.5. for best results.)
Spacing before paragraphs: zero Spacing after paragraphs: zero Line spacing: at least 12 point Melissa Smith On 3/13/2010 12:20 AM, Cindy wrote:
It seems almost every file I proof has different line spacing,and some, like the one I'm doing now, has different line spacing on every page. What is the most preferable?
