Reopened Word, and VIOLA!! NO MORE DOUBLE SPACING!! Thank you for the hint Bluehole. After doing that, I opened up the file location again: C:\users\appdata\roaming\microsoft\templates and then deleted the original Normal.dotm file, and then renamed my Normal1.dotm file to “Normal.dotm” and then closed. It said I couldn’t save as the same name as the original, so I saved it as Normal1.dotm. Once it was the way I wanted it, I saved the document in the same file location as the template was located. After opening it, I changed the formatting and settings in the “Styles” formatting to what I wanted. After I read your comment, I closed down Word, went to C:\users\appdata\roaming\microsoft\templates and opened up the document called Normal.dotm.

I have Microsoft Word 2010, and have tried every single tutorial out there on how to fix this ugly mess of double or 1.5 spacing. Hat tip to the Microsoft Office Knowledge Base for this one.Īmazing!! Thank you Bluehole. Now, when you review your Paragraph dialog box, you’ll see this:.To make this change effective for all new documents based on the Normal template, drop this menu down again, and choose Set as Default.Click it, then choose Style Set, then click on Word 2003 (which will change the default styles for that document to the ones where Normal paragraphs have single spacing with no extra space after paragraphs. You’ll see a drop-down called Change Styles. On the home tab of the ribbon, find the Styles section (on the right).If you want to change the default back to that single line spacing that looks good on paper, then here’s what you do: The default paragraph settings for Word 2010 So they made line spacing in the Normal template 1.15 instead of 1. Well, it seems that Microsoft, in its infinite wisdom, decided that since we’re all posting documents on the Interwebs, we could all do with a more online-friendly line spacing scheme. I've tried this on two W10Pro Ofc2016 computers and get the same results in both.If you’ve upgraded to one of the ribbon-interface versions of Microsoft Office recently, you may have noticed that every new document you create (as opposed to editing or making new documents from earlier ones) has this weird, more open line spacing.

I see no option to add another display language.Įarlier versions of Office had downloadable Language packs but I can't find one for Office 2016, not even in the volume license downloads. Nothing appears in the "Other Display Languages". Under the "Office Display Language" is English for both. The very last sentence on this Options page is says, "View display languages installed for each Microsoft Office program. Under "Choose Display and Help Languages" the default is "Match Microsoft Windows," which suggests to me that all Word menus should be in Spanish, just like Chrome and Windows are doing.
In Word Options > Language the editing language is set to default to Spanish (Mexico). All Start menu text is in Spanish and even Chrome displays everything in Spanish.īut when I run Word 2016 all of its menus are in English.

I have configured the default language in a Windows 10 Pro user profile to Spanish (Mexico). (Note that I am referring to the Display language, not the keyboard language.) How do you change Word 2016's Display language?
