Wordpad double spacing problem
wrote in message ... Sometimes Wordpad will single space the lines in text, then all of a sudden it will switch to what appears to be double spacing every line. Why is that, and is there a way to make it go back to single spacing? I suggest you test with another keyboard. I'd suspect doublestrikes on the Return Key before I suspected a glich in the program. |

Whatever the cause, if this presents a practical problem, you can draft single-spaced and then reforrmat double-spaced. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Why is that, and is there a way to make it go back to single spacing? I suggest you test with another keyboard. I'd suspect doublestrikes on the Return Key before I suspected a glich in the program. Or maybe not. When I was using a Mac Plus, I spilled some soda on it. I thought I cleaned the keyboard up properly, but suddenly I was getting two characters for one key press on one key. So I take the keyboard apart, desolder the keyswitch and put in a new one (obviously I happned to have a keyswitch that fit, otherwise I wouldn't have done this), put it back together and it still did it. It was a bug in that early Microsoft Word for the Mac. Pressing that one key (I think it was only one key) and the numeric keypad caused the character to be entered twice. If I'd pressed any other key after cleaning the keyboard, I'd have never noticed, or if I'd used some other program, I'd have never noticed. Not likely to happen to someone else, but I really thought it was the keyboard that time (especially since I had spilled the soda, so there was something to blame). Michael |

Why is that, and is there a way to make it go back to single spacing? Same thing happens to me when I try pasting wordpad text into another application (I notice it a lot in OE). I hope you find out what's causing it, as I usually end up bouncing between OO and Notepad to try and monkey with it. I suspect it's a linefeed/carriage return issue. Have you tried Cetus wordpad? No. What's that? |
