(For the best effect, both controls in this area should be set to the same value.) Select the contents you want to remove space, click Home > Line and Paragraph Spacing to display the drop-down list. In Word, to remove space before or after paragraph, you can use the utilities in Line and Paragraph Spacing drop-down list. Use the two controls in the Text Position area to specify how far the numbered item should be indented. Remove paragraph spacing by Line and Paragraph Spacing function.Use the Number Position controls to specify how the number in the selected list items should be aligned, and where it should appear horizontally.The Customize Numbered List dialog box should appear. The Numbered tab of the Bullets and Numbering dialog box. Word displays the Bullets and Numbering dialog box, with the Numbered tab selected. Choose Bullets and Numbering from the Format menu.(You would normally select all the numbered items in your list.) Select the list items you want to change.If you want to change the way that spacing is handled between list numbers and the text in the list item itself, follow these steps: It may be even worse if you have list items that use three digits. For instance, there may be very little space between a two-digit list number and the start of your text. If you have lists with many, many items, then they may not look right when you view items that have two or three digits in the number. When formatting your list, the tool assumes that you are working with lists that have only a few items in them. Because the box is transparent and ‘floating’ it can be overlaid on the rest of the document to give exact positioning.Many people like to use the Numbering tool, on the Formatting toolbar, to create numbered lists in a document. Drag the text box until it’s exactly where you want it. Set the text box to Shape Fill | No Fill (ie transparent), no border and positioning in front of text. Put one or both of the lines in a text box. The ultimate in line positioning is using a text box. Turn the table gridlines off and it appears as two lines of closely formatted text.Ĭlose line spacing with a table (left, gridlines showing) and how it appears in the final document (right). Put each line in a cell then adjust the row heights until they are as close as you need. Tables are the secret trick for all Word nerds. We usually settle for something in the 0.7 to 0.8 range to get the lines close together without clipping the tops of letters.
Reduce the line spacing too much and the letters will be cut off. Try out various line spacing fractions until you get what you need. Set the Multiple line spacing value to less than one eg 0.7 To set less than 1 line space go to Paragraph | Line Spacing and choose ‘Multiple’ – yes ‘Multiple’. If those options don’t work, it’s time to break out the major nerd tricks. Just below those choices is “Don’t add space between paragraphs of the same style”.Ĭhecking that box will remove the before and after spacing, assuming both lines have the same style. Don’t add space between paragraphs of the same style Maybe all you need to do is reduce one or both of those. Open the paragraph spacing dialog from the little button at bottom right of the Paragraph section of the ribbon.Ĭheck the Spacing, Before or After settings. 1) Initialize 'count' 0 (Count of non-space character seen so far) 2) Iterate through all characters of given string, do following a) If current character is non-space, then put this character at index 'count' and increment. The idea is to keep track of count of non-space character seen so far. Turn ‘Show all’ on (Home | Paragraph | Show All) to see both Paragraph marks (the reverse P or pilcrow, left) and line breaks (angled arrow, right). A Better Solution can solve it in O (n) time. Paragraph Break vs Line BreakĪ simple way to reduce the line spacing is to switch from the usual Paragraph Break (pressing Enter) for a Line Break (Shift + Enter)Ī Line Break will usually make a smaller gap between two lines. Instead a few options to check and adjust until you get what you want. Selecting a line shows the amount of space Word has allocated above and below the line.
The left example has selected the top line. Here’s an example of standard line spacing (left) and very close spacing (right).
It becomes useful when trying some design tricks for headings, for example the title in our Millennium poster. Reducing the line spacing or vertical gap between lines in Word paragraphs can be done in six different ways depending on the situationĪdjusting line spacing to put lines very close isn’t usually necessary for regular text.
