Extra space between paragraphs: is there a way to delete that?

I am importing text from a word document to format in InDesign. It' 150 pages of a book that I'll layout.
I made a mistake when writing the book with word by creating a space between every paragraph, which I now want to get rid of.
Is there a way to automate this with InDesign? Is there some way to automatically delete the extra space betwen my paragraphs and add an indent instead?

Hi craigatadobe12345
You can do it by by seaching "^p^p" in find and replace "^p^t" with Find/Replace window. This will remove the extra line and set a tab to indent the text.
Please find below the screenshot of the same. Hope it helps...
Best,

How do I remove extra space between paragraphs

I'm writing a research paper, and between paragraphs an extra line of space is added. My professor isn't happy about this. Help me eliminate the space.

The default after paragraph spacing in Pages is 12 points. With a 12 point font, this puts a whole line-worth of space after each paragraph return. It is very easy to change this in the text inspector.
If you don't want to have to remember to change it each time you open a new blank word processing document, create your own template. Open the blank template & set up your document with the line spacing, margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font. You can set default wrap for any object as well as many other settings. Insert a table, click in it & choose the font, size, color, etc. you want in the fonts panel or format bar. You can do similar changes to inserted objects & text boxes. While you're at it resize the box if you want, set the amount of extra space in the wrap inspector, etc. Delete each text box, object & table after you've set them.
Now, save this document as a template & select that template as default in preferences. If you decide to make any changes to the template down the road, just Save As Template again with the same name & replace the previous version. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.

Let's pretend that you told us which version of Pages you are talking about, and that you are using Pages 5:

Why is there a thin dark line between two of my three cover images that wasn't there before? When I delete the images, you can tell that there is extra space between the first two image boxes.

Getting ready to purchase my first book, I looked over everything once more and noticed that there is now a thin gray line between the first two of my three cover images. I believe this may have happened when I switched out the left image. When I delete the images, you can see an extra space between the center and left image boxes. How can I fix this without starting over?

Should I have spaces between paragraphs or paragraph indents?

I am creating a pdf interactive document/ebook, and am wondering whether to use a space between paragraphs or use indents. Is there a standard?

It is entirely up to you. Use one or the other, but not both. If you are using paragraph Styles it is easy to make a global change and see which reads better. Generally, I prefer spaces to indents. The space should be either one line of lead (i.e. equal to the paragraph’s leading value) or half a line of lead if one full line looks to large.
My reply is in reference to the above quote regarding how to make a
global change so that all of the paragraphs in the document have spaces between them w/o having to select each and every paragraph and applying the 'paragraphspacing' style.
How do I go about this ?
Format a paragraph as you want all similar paragraphs to look. Now go to the Paragraph Styles panel and create a new Style. Right-click on the new style to edit the style and give it an intuitive name. Now you can format any text the same way by first selecting the text, then clicking on the style in the Paragraph Styles panel. If you later want to change all of the paragraphs using that style, just right-click on the style and change any attributes to globally change all paragraphs in the document using that style.
secondary: not certain the below applies to my question regarding spaces between paragraphs and changing them globally.
i have also found and wondered about using the setting for the 'align to grid' where default is none and options are
'all lines' or 'first line only'. Does this apply in any way to a regular layout of a 'novel' ?
i do not know what this refers to.
The space should be either one line of lead (i.e. equal to the paragraph’s leading value) or half a line of lead if one full line looks to large.
thanks again.
Leading is the term for the space from the baseline of one line of text to the baseline of the next line within a paragraph. The default is “Auto”, which is 120% of the point size. For 12 point text, Auto equals 14.4 point leading. First: Don’t use Auto leading. Change the leading of your style to a number. About 120% is as good a place to start as any, but it depends on the typeface. You may decide to use 11 point text on 14 point leading.
Because you will have columnd of text next to each other on the page, or pages of text neext to each other on a two-page spread, you want to make sure your text lines up neatly in columns or pages (although for pages it is less critical). The easiest way to do this is to use paragraph spacing equal to your leading, i.e. 14 points. This way, no matter how many paragraphs (and thus, blank lines between paragraphs) you have, the text will always have a heigh that is multiples of 14 points, so bottom baselines will always line up.
You may decide that looks like too much space, and want to use a lower value. The next best value is half the leading, or 7 points. That way, about half of the time your columns or pages will line up and the bottom baselines will sync.
Once again, it is ultimately up to you how you want the text to look and how you want your pages or column to look next to each other. If 14 (or whatever your leading is) looks too small or 7 (or whatever half the leading is) looks too big, then go with what looks best. Always try to keep an eye on the big picture, though. Don’t just look at one line of text, look at the entire paragraph. Don’t just look at one paragraph, look at the column. Don’t just look at one column, look at the page. Don’t just look at one page, look at the spread. And always keep the reader in mind. You are designing the document for the reader, not for yourself.

Space between paragraphs

Hello. Im writing a book, but Im having a hard time trying to figure out why the space of each paragraph is not the same. I tried using "space after" thingy from paragraph styles "indents and spacing", but it doesnt make any difference - the space between paragraphs increases, but space of each isnt same.
As you can see from the picture, i highlightened the text to show the difference of space between every paragraph. Please help, I dont what else to do.
Note: text is totally random, im just using it for example, its not the actual content of the book.

Wrong alignment.
I'm referring to the option to align the text to a baseline grid, which is one way to keep the lines level when you use multiple columns or across pages in a book. It could be set as part of a style in the Indents and Spacing section:
or as a local override from the paragraph panel:
Which would be used in conjuntion withthe align to grid button:

How do I delete extra spacing between paragraphs?

I have created a PDF but when I edited some sentences, it left extra spacing between paragraphs. How do I adjust the format so it is double spaced and how do I get rid of the extra spacing?

You don't, to be honest. Editing a PDF is a desperate last resort, for when the original is lost, cannot be had for any amount of money, and the backups were eaten by termites. So there is no situation ever in which you should be editing a PDF you created. Rather, make the correction and remake the PDF. Sorry to be blunt, but it's best to really understand how desperate you have to be to edit a PDF.

Space between paragraphes

Hello,
Long time i used InDesign CS4, and wonder if there is a solution on my question ?
I started a digital book where I use Garamond Premier Pro Medium 14pt with an interline of 16.
In certain conditions, i like to double "Enter" between two paragraphs, but the space is to big !
Can i reduce the space between two paragraphs ?
Thanks to let me know, and please, tel me how to proceed .
Regards,
Jean

You don't put your mouse between two paragraphs. You select one of the paragraphs (the one above or the one below), and you use the Space Above or Space Below attribute. It's actually done very similarly in Microsoft Word.
Here are a couple pictures. Select a paragraph. Create its attributes for font size, leading (what you call "interline"), maybe a first line indent. From the Paragraph Styles panel, choose New Paragraph Style. I called mine Body Copy.
To add the space between paragraphs, go to the Indents and Spacing panel (on the left). Set the Space Below value as shown below:
I'm using picas and points (default in the US), but it would be the same if you were specifying millimeters or centimeters.

Scrollbar & extra spaces between pages.

Hi All,
Please provide some help on smartforms.
We are facing following problem with smartforms, We have created a smartform having one table with dynamic content.And after this dynamic table we have some static content.Based on the no.of items, the length of the entries in the table varies.If the table entries length increased beyond the page length, then we are getting a scrollbar in the page in which this table is displayed.
We had maintained the page length to the maximum.
And we are also getting some extra spaces between each static content of the smartform.
Regards
Veena.
