Make Single Spacing Default in Word 2007+

This post is part of a project to move my old reference material to my blog. Before 2012, when I accessed the same pieces of code or general information multiple times, I would write a quick HTML page for my own reference and put it on a personal site. Later, I published these pages online. Some of the pages still get used and now I want to make them available on my blog.

  3. Click Change Styles

  4. Under Style Set, click Word 2003

  5. Click Change Styles
