As a default, Microsoft Word for Mac adds automatic paragraphing, so when you press return, you will go to a new paragraph apposed to a new line. This comes a unique, welcome feature for some users, but for others it is seen as a nuisance. This article will explain how to turn off this feature.
In Word, press “Format” in the menu bar, followed by “Style”.
The rest is after the jump…
Make sure ‘normal’ is selected in the left hand column, and click modify.
Change “format” in the bottom left hand corner to “Paragraph”.
In “Spacing: After”, change this from 10pt to 0pt.
Success! You will no longer have to edit settings – this will carry onto all of your documents unless overridden in your paragraph settings (such as double spacing).
To change back, simply change it back to 10pt.
