Can't double space anymore in TextEdit halp!

I just went to double space my term paper today, and realized, I couldn't!
under format < text I have no options other than writing direction, they're all in shadow so choosing them isn't even an option.
I use to be able to do this, along with other things I now can't do! But I have no idea where they went.
Any ideas on how to fix this, so I can double space my documents would be fabulous!

maybe i've posted in the wrong area. I have 10.4.10.
I don't know if that makes a huge difference, when i did my last software update, textedit seemed unchanged.... perhaps something has accidently been deleted that is causing it to disrupt ?
but anywho: to GET to that contextual menu, you must first ( on my text edit version )
go to format, then text, then the spacing option is there right above link, list and table, and below show, copy, and paste ruler options.... I KNOW where I'm to go.... but I'm saying, it doesn't give the option to choose spacing....
i kinda want to give up.... but still... I kinda don't! bahhh!!!

  • Can you double space a table of contents page?

    Sorry for this newbie question. I have searched help and the forum and I can't find an answer that helps me. I have a document that I'm working with and the table of contents if functional. However, I would like to doublespace the table of contents lines and I can't figure out how to do that. Would anyone have any suggestions? Thank You for your time!

    Select the TOC then Inspector > T tab > Text > Line , there is a small button to the right >Double
    Or in the Format bar > Line spacing button

  • How can I double space in a table?

    I am having a hard time finding a button for double spacing while typing in a table. 

    There isn't any button for that. You have to go to the Inspector > T tab > Text > Line and change the number to 2 or beneath the line field click and change to double.

  • Is there a keyboard short cut key to double space my lines like there is in windows?

    Can I double space my lines with a short cut? Like in windows when you hit control 2 and it automatically double spaces your lines, or do I have to manually do it at the top? Just curious.

  • Alphabetize then Double Space

    I want to alphabetize a list and then print it double spaced. How do I do that?
    I can use Numbers to alphabetize the list, but I can't figure out how to print it double spaced. When I copy and paste it into Pages it is a table, and I can't double space it.
    Many thanks for any help.

    It is a Service using the system Services feature, not an application. If you look in the Pages Pages menu or in any applications "name" menu you'll see something called Services. Usually you can get to the Services by right clicking too.
    Here you can see a short list of Services (Tjänster in swedish). It is short as I haven't selected anything for Services to work on. The zip file is only 227 kB, not large at all. TRy it. if you don't like it you can trash it.

  • Can't download videos I bought on iTunes. Lack of space but I already erased lots of applications and still not working.. Can you help ASAP please as I can't watch videos anymore..

    Hi,
    I bought the last version of IPad that came out recently ( I bought it 3 weeks ago). It is a 16GB.
    So far I love this product, but I 'm getting stuck with movie downloads from iTunes.
    Indeed I just ordered 3 movies in HD and they don't download as the message "error lack of space" come up.
    So I made some space on my IPad, erased most of my music (only 156 MB left), I had pages, I erased it but really I 'm loosing $11..., I erased all the movies I had before, and much more. Now what I don't understand is that I have only 3GB available when my following applications don't even take the 10.3GB of used space:
    Music: 156 MB
    Skype: 34,2 MB
    Sleep well: 16.6 MB
    Calculator: 11,8 MB
    Voice memos: 9,8MB
    Iswifter:  6,2 MB
    And Video says no Data
    There is no extra application, so it is really strange it is doing this. I tried to reset and restart many times with no success. I also tried to look at the previews of the videos I bought and tried to redownload them but the same message come up.
    Now apart of the strange lack of space on my IPad, I understand that the videos I wanted to download were in HD and therefore too big.
    What I would like to do is to shift to download to SD but I can't do it and also can't erase the downloads...
    I wonder if the downloads are actually not already taking space even tho they haven't even been able to charge some information (they are not even downloaded half way or anything like that).
    Unfortunately I don't have a computer to download my IPad to, so I could try to manipulate the videos purchased from there. I'm traveling and now I can't watch movies anymore which is very annoying...
    Also I checked my multi tasking is off....
    Could you please help me as soon as possible on this?
    Thanks a lot,
    Julie

    According to the trms of the iTunes and app stores - all sales are final. but that doe not mean that you can't try anyway. People ask for refunds all the time. Use the Express Lane email to contact iTunes.
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    You can still download the other movies in iTunes on your computer. Launch iTunes and go to Store>Check for Available Downloads. You can download them in iTunes and then sync them to the iPad later. When you are done watching the first movie, you can transfer it into iTunes on your computer, delete it from the iPad and you will have the room for another movie on the device. To transfer the movie when you are done with it, you can use the transfer purchases feature.
    Transfer purchases.

    If the photos that you lost were photos that you took with the iPad, they should be in your iPad backup - if you sync with iTunes or if you backup with iCloud.

  • Can pages be set to full stop with a double space tap

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if you can set pages (or use an app) to place a full spot after a double space bar tap?
    Thanks

    In text replacement (System Preferences > Keyboard > Text), one cannot use a leading space in the Replace column, thus eliminating double-space as a character replacement combination. Depending on the internationality of your keyboard, there may be alternative tandem characters that when configured in the text replacement facility — will offer a full-stop as replacement.
    I do not use third-party tools for text or keyboard mapping, so cannot comment on that viability for your goal.

  • How can i write with double spaces between words ?

    hello everyone,
    i need to write in pages with double spaces between words not between lines ..
    how can i do it and make it default ?
    for now, just write and click space bar twice ..!!!

    Do you really need to do this? It is so ugly and illegible.
    You can use a monospace font or use the auto-complete in Menu > Pages > Preferences to auto-substitute 2 spaces for each one.

  • How do I double space on the new Pages?

    I updated the other day to Pages V 5.0.1 and now I can't find a way to double space my text. Anyone?
    Thanks.

    Hello,

  • Double space period please in MAIL App!!!!!

    Apple -
    Anyone at Apple -
    Please please please tell someone to have a double space create a period at the end of sentences.
    Switching back and forth between the keysets is maddening.
    It's such a simple request... please.

    Here's a great workaround tip from David Pogue's website...
    Basically, you can type a period with ease if you simply press the ‘.?123’ key, then keep your finger on the screen and just slide it up and over a bit to the period when the numeric keypad appears. Amazingly, this key reacts as soon as your finger touches it (no lifting required), and the numeric keypad will automatically disappear when it does, leaving you right back where you started with the normal keyboard active—and with a period in your document! And instead of multiple taps, it took but one.
    This trick works for any of the keys on the numeric keypad, but it’s most useful for the period and comma. While I’d still prefer to have the period and comma on the main keyboard, this is a really good workaround.

  • How to change double spaces to single space

    For some reason that I don't know about, the majority of the
    time that I download a PHP or HTML document from the web server to
    my local PC the document gets double spaces injected into each line
    of code. In HomeSite there is a simple command in the menu to
    change double spacing to single spacing. Why does Dreamweaver not
    have this, or if it does, then where is it? I cannot spend all of
    my time mannually removing each double spaced line. I tried the
    search and replace for this, but then I loose my tab formatting and
    it makes the code hard to read. Can anybody help or point me to an
    extension that works for this or sdomething? Or, do I just need to
    reload HomeSite and work in it instead of Dreamweaver?

    Open the find/replace dialog, and check "Use regular
    expressions".
    then type the following in the search box
    \n\s*\n
    and type Ctrl-Enter in the replace box
    this should replace double line-breaks (with or without
    whitespace between
    them) with a single one.
