Change the 'after' default paragraph spacing in Word 2008
Authored by: ocsquatch on Thu, May 1 2008 at 12:03PM PDT
This is a brilliant hint, although you're best off simply updating the default template to load with the "Don't add" box checked. That extra-space after paragraphs is unbearably annoying, followed closely by Calibri 11 as the default font. There's a reason we indent the first line of each paragraph. Adding any extra space between paragraphs is redundant and wrong (akin to putting quotation marks around a block quotation). Thanks for the hint. (Double spacing after periods is a hold-over from typewriters, but most styles [like MLA] don't actually consider it wrong.)
