Is it just when you start talking about something completely different that you should put a space, or should they follow on too? Should the space even be there or is it just something people do? I have been putting a space when it looks like too much of a wall of text but I am finding that paragraphs without spaces between them, look a bit weird. I am getting confused when I write long reports and essays about when I should be writing paragraphs with a space separating and when I should have them following one another without a space. I am not fully sure if this is the right place for this question but I am guessing has something to do with structure and usage so hopefully it is alright here. The white space goes either between paragraphs, or else in front of them, but probably not both. All Rights Reserved.You have your choice.

#DELETE SPACE BETWEEN PARAGRAPHS FELLOWSHIP ONE HOW TO#
Tell me … have you noticed the extra space after each paragraph? Did you already know how to change it? Or did you learn this trick for the first time?
If you want to use this as a default property, click the “Default” button in the Paragraph Dialog Box.Īs an editor who formats client’s query letters, proposals, and manuscripts, this has been a huge help to me as I work.

To remove the spacing between all paragraphs:ġ. Maybe you’ve already discovered this tip or have known about it since the dawn of Word. Selecting all text (“Ctrl” + “A”) and clicking on “Remove Space After Paragraph” didn’t solve the issue either. After clicking through all those menu items for three paragraph, I was already frustrated. So what do you do? Well, if you only want to remove the space after a particular paragraph, put your curser on the paragraph, then click “Paragraph,” then “Line Spacing,” then “Remove Space After Paragraph.” (I don’t know why you would want to do only one paragraph, but you could.)īefore I learned this next trick, I started to do that for an entire eBook manuscript-with over 30,000 words. Word increases the space between paragraphs every time you press “Enter” to create a new paragraph.Įven hitting “Backspace” doesn’t delete the extra space. Totally sneaky, because even if you display paragraph marks, you will NOT see an extra paragraph mark after every paragraph! It’s just part of Word’s styling. Newer versions of Word (again, get up-to-date if you’re using the 2003 version!), automatically put more space between paragraphs than you want-and that manuscript format standards call for. But when Word automatically does stuff that you don’t want it to, that is just plain frustrating! It’s hard enough to remember to follow all the current (and sometimes ever-changing) rules. I hope so! (Or maybe I don’t hope so, since my job is to correct other people’s mistakes!) So have you stopped living in 1989 yet? Are you caught up to 2013? Are you resisting the urge to put only one space between sentences?
