Microsoft Word 2007 - Remove Extra Space Between Paragraphs

Have you noticed that in Word 2007, Word will add a space between paragraphs by default. This space cannot be removed by using the backspace key.

If you don’t want Word to add the extra space, you can turn it off. However, you will need to turn it every time you open a new document unless you alter the Normal.dot template.

To turn off the space between paragraphs, follow these steps:

1. On the Home ribbon, find the Paragraph section.
2. In the bottom right corner of the section, click the button to show the Paragraph dialog box.
3. Select “Don’t add space between paragraphs of the same style”.
4. Click OK
