For those uninitiated in Word 2010 arcana, "paragraph" doesn't necessarily mean a single paragraph. This thread is about defaults. However, when I want to use a different format for a passage in a document, I first select that text, then go to the paragraph dialog with the applications key followed by p. If I want the entire document to be formatted different from my default, I select with control-a.

Subject: RE: setting Word in office 2010 for single lines Bob, Excellent instructions. I think I can contribute one suggestion. I use what I find a shorter way than your steps 1-3: 1. Press the applications key, then p for paragraph. (Then pick up with step 4, alt-n.) That's it. It's amazing how much time the applications key saves in Word 2010. Last thought. Isn't it necessary to conclude the process by tabbing one more time from default to the "Okay" button? I always do. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bob Boyd via Jfw Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2014 7:18 AM To: 'Barbara Hansen'; 'The Jaws for Windows support list.' Subject: RE: setting Word in office 2010 for single lines Barbara, Here is my method in Word 2010 to change the line spacing within a paragraph: 1) From within any Word document hit the Alt key to get to the ribbon. 2) Use the left and right arrow keys to get to "Page Layout" then hit the down arrow to select. You should hear "Lower Ribbon" 3) Use the tab key until you hear "Paragraph" then select with space bar 4) Alt N will take you to the line spacing and "S" or the up and down arrow keys, will select "Single Space" 5) If you also want to change the spacing before or after a paragraph (return key), then an Alt A will take you to the "After" setting. If you wish to have single spacing everywhere then set the "After" to "0". Setting it to "10" the usual default, will put one line after each paragraph, but will leave the line spacing within each paragraph as you set above. 6) Tab on down until you hear the "Set As Default" button and select with a space bar. If there is a shorter method, I will welcome hearing of it too.

I do the control 1 keystroke, but it doesn't always work. How do you set the single line spacing to default? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas.
