Hi, I have a question about spacing and paragraphs. I do a lot of cut and paste
from web sites. Some of them have very short sentences in the paragraphs
so when I past to Word, I can have several pages of very thin paragraphs
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/ is a great one).
How can I reformat to fit into the margins on my word page to save space and pages?

Thanks
Dave Sleight.

There are a couple of ways, One try Format>AutoFormat. That only works occasionally.
One crude trick that works most of the time is to go to Edit

When you are finished pasting everything that you need please try the following: 1. Select all and got the the style box which normally states normal and click on the down arrow and select normal 12 pt. 2. If there is a problem with the spacing such as what appears to be big gaps between the lines of the paragraph select the paragrapg and go to Format, paragraph and make sure that the Spacing before and after are set to 0. I hope that this helps you!
