From: Island Girl on 30 Apr 2010 14:15 How do I set up a toolbar that will show the line spacing in a selected paragraph? I'm working in a long document and I know there has to be a better way than right clicking on the paragraph and taking the usual route to find out the line spacing. Thanks for being there and helping me out so very often!
From: Stefan Blom on 30 Apr 2010 14:54 As far as I know, there is no direct equivalence to the "Spacing" area of the Paragraph dialog box (if that's what you are asking). But you can add the buttons for Single, 1.5, and Double spacing to any toolbar. Other options: - Add a keyboard shortcut to the FormatParagraph command so that you can quickly display the Paragraph dialog. - Make use of the Reveal Formatting task pane (press Shift+F1). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via NNTP) "Island Girl" <IslandGirl(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:0120704E-7004-467D-9076-F34BF1EAA1CB(a)microsoft.com... > How do I set up a toolbar that will show the line spacing in a selected > paragraph?

From: Terry Farrell on 30 Apr 2010 17:43 Well there is in Word 2010 but I am unable to check if this is available in Word 2007. Use the Customise Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) option and choose All Commands. Scroll down the list of command and you will find Spacing Before Spacing After Add them to your QAT. Now as you click in a paragraph, the little boxes on the QAT will display the current setting. I hope that is the same for Word 2007. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Island Girl" <IslandGirl(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:0120704E-7004-467D-9076-F34BF1EAA1CB(a)microsoft.com... > How do I set up a toolbar that will show the line spacing in a selected > paragraph?

From: Doug Robbins - Word MVP on 30 Apr 2010 21:06 In both Word 2007 and Word 2010 there is a Line and Paragraph Spacing button in the Paragraph section of the Ribbon. If you click on it, it will show the spacing of the selected paragraph by a tick against the 1.0, 1.15, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 or 3.0. It also has a button that will take you to the Format Paragraph dialog and buttons to Add (or Remove if it is there already) Space Before or After the paragraph. -- Hope this helps.

From: Terry Farrell on 1 May 2010 06:24 Doug The problem I see with the Line and Paragraph Spacing button is that it only shows the tick mark against the line spacing setting if you use Line units. If you set (like all good Word users should use) to use the At Least XX pts, the Line Spacing tick doesn't work (because it only works in Line Units and not in Points). I would never use a fixed line height because sometimes ascenders or descenders can be chopped and I find 1 line too little and 1.5 lines too much, so it is a pretty useless feature. Perhaps a suggestion for the next release would be to make the units dynamic with the settings used! I only recently discovered the Spacing Before and Spacing After buttons, but I now have the Spacing After permanently on my QAT.
