All Knowledge is Contained in Fandom, Day-Job Edition

[rolanni]

So, over the summer I scored a new Mac at the day-job, which is not quite as satisfactory as it could be, since it came with the Monstrosity that is Microsoft Office-X. All of the bad things I thought and said about Microsoft Office 97? I take back. Pass the salt.

So, today's problem!

For some reason, the Big Blue Smurf think that single space means "space-anna-umpf," which not only is ugly, but *really* makes it hard to do things like, oh, merge labels. We here in the Control Cabin live and die by merging labels.

Now, I know I can go up into Format, choose Paragraph and turn Spacing After from 10 to 0. The trouble is, I seem to have to do this for EVERY FREAKING LABEL. Which is this case is only a couple hundred, but still -- every instinct rebels. Not to mention my wrists.

Anybody know how to turn this off Forever and Ever and A Day?

Can you stick it?

Go into paragraph and fix your Spacing After to your preference, then click the "Default" button that should be on the bottom next to "Ok". It will warn you that you are changing the spacing on this document, do you want to make it the default on any document after this? Click yes.

Hopefully that fixes your issue.

That sounded good, except there isn't a Default button -- only OK and Cancel. Mac and PC are different in many strange ways...
