Footnotes and line spacing

Hi,
Does anyone know why, when I create a footnote, the line following is placed in an improbable and non-correctible space below - perhaps as much as a whole line? If anyone does know, do they also know how to correct this globally throughout the document? I ask because if you look in Footnote Reference style it shows no before or after paragraph space, so you can't correct it there. It looks most unsightly!
Thanks

I’m glad you got it sorted out. What you describe explains it.
I agree that styles are very confusing at first. Do persevere with them though as they help you get very consistent formatting and make subsequent edits faster and simpler. Ironically they are of most benefit in long documents but that is the last place to learn how to use them because changes can seem so catastrophic.
I got really frustrated on a long document once and started to conclude that styles were more of a hindrance than help. I resorted to making a short two page document based on a blank template, inserted four paragraphs with two different styles and started to experiment with changes to styles. The short document helped me fully appreciate the effect of the changes I made to each style. As I grew more confident, I made the formatting more complex by introducing default styles like headings, lists etc and experimented with changes to them. Once I understood what was going on, I was able to effectively manage my long document. I couldn’t imagine creating documents without styles now.

Word doc import/export and line spacing differences with Pages '09

When I save or open a Word .doc, the default line spacing differences messes up the document formatting, the document ends up being more pages in Pages than when I open in Word:Mac.
One work around I learned about on this forum is to set the line spacing to "exact" in Pages. This is okay, except many Word documents have subtle line spacing before or after paragraphs and/or different size fonts in the document that affects line spacing. Setting Pages line spacing to exact makes a mess of these documents.
Why can't Apple build a proper line spacing function into Pages so it is more compatible with Word? If they are touting compatibility, they need to make a disclaimer in their advertising as only simple documents seem to work without issues.
Is there a better work around available?
Thanks.
Bud

Bud,
It seems that there is incompatibility in the before and after spacing (Ctrl + 0 in Word for Windows adds 12 points, if I remember correctly).
Since you mention a .doc file, it makes me think you have a Word 2003 or earlier format. I have a couple of suggestions:
1. If you have access to Word 2007 or Word 2008 for Mac, try saving in .docx. Basically, a .docx is compliant with Office Open XML, the ECMA standard that is the basis for the document formats in Microsoft Office 2007 and Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac.
[Note: The Office Open XML ECMA standard, or OOXML is a source of polemic since it was donated by Microsoft and competes with Open Document Format, or ODF. You can find more here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OfficeOpen_XML#Implementations_of_new_2008version
and Microsoft has stated they'll support the newer standard and retrofit Office 2007. Let's hope they do the same for Office 2008 for Mac and that Apple picks up as well with an upgrade for Pages '09 or in Pages '10]
2. If the above does not work, I would suggest reporting this to Apple. This would indicate a compatibility problem in Office Open XML compliance, which should be independent of Word itself. A way to support this claim would be to test it in another word processor that adds space before and after a paragraph and that supports OOXML, which I think would be too much I would not bother reporting it for a Word 2003 format because it is proprietary.
Hope it helps.

Paste and Line Spacing

How do I change the line spacing inside a new email? Sometimes I copy some text (Single spaced) from Word or other applications into a new blank email and my text is double spaced. How can I change some text back to single spacing?

Hi RandyRamey,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
No Problem.
Once you have copied the needed text, simply place your curser where you want it to begin and go to Edit>Paste and Match Style. That should make the pasted text conform to what you already have typed - no matter what spacing/font it is.
Good Luck,
John

PDF Letterhead Text LINE SPACING PROBLEM

I recently upgraded from Pro 8 to X Pro on my Windows XP desktop. With Pro * I used the typewriter fucntion to place text onto my pdf letterhead. I have my letterhead in pdf format on my hardrive. I saved this texted letterhead without a problem, i.e., with the font, paragraphs, and line spacing eaxtly as it was when I creared it. With X Pro, after having placed text in my letterhead using the Typewriter function, my attempt to save the texted in letter head results in a pdf document which does not respect the line spacing I used w=hen creating it. Why am I have this line spacing problem?

Thank you Michael,
I am simply trying to continue using X Pro the way I used Pro 8. In Pro 8 I
used the Typewriter function to input text to the letter head stored in my
hard drive. Perhaps this is a functionality I lost as a result of the
upgrade to X Pro -- I hope not??

I have "upgraded" from Pages 2.0.2 to Pages 5.5.3 and can no longer customize my line spacing. Does anyone know if there are more than 4 options for line spacing?

Is it possible to customize line spacing in Pages 5.5.3? My previous Pages 2.0.2 allowed me to choose spacing in 0.1 increments, but as far as I can tell Pages 5.5.3 only offers four options. Very limiting for creative documents.

Hi Margaret,
Does this work for you?
And 0.6
Or 1.6
Please call back if this does not help.

It is a layout problem that seems to be affecting most users.

Hope the Apple programmers are paying attention.
I am really curious why they seem to be doing no independent testing and checking. At least none that shows.

Copy and paste from MS Word to Apple Mail - line spacing

Folks:
When I copy and paste single-spaced text from MS Word into the body of an email message in Apple Mail, it pastes in as double spaced text. Does anyone know of a fix for this? I can't seem to find how to change line spacing in Apple Mail. Thanks.

hi, had the same issue
went into the word doc, removed all tabs (even if not using tabs there were some hidden) and paragraph formatting and it pasted in fine... my doc was a single paragraph...
BUT having fixed that I found another doc which underlines the text when pasting it into mail!!!! havn;t solved that!

How can I adjust the space between the dividing line of the footnotes and the continuous text?

How can I adjust the space between the dividing line of the footnotes and the continuous text?

I want to extend the space so the dividing line does not stuck to the normal (continuous) text in my thesis. Do you have a solution? That would be perfect. Thanks a lot!

Word 2008 line spacing.. is single space and double space all messed up?

Very basic here: in print layout view (only one I am using) the single spacing and double spacing seem so far apart. Single spacing is way too far apart. Is anyone else seeing this?

That is the issue. I am hitting enter and getting a big space. I see a similar thing in Pages. All I know is tht in 2004 version, I start all my papers with 4 lines in top corner (name-enter/date-enter/assignment/class#-enter) I do these with single space just by default on Word.
THen I go to format-paragraph-double space, and do my writing--double spaced.
This is weird to me. I like word 2008, looks nice, notebook is cool. But I don't like having to re-learn that stuff. Is this how everybody does this? Everyone out of the box can not just type and choose single/double space? We have to edit some paragraph spacing? HUH?

Line Spacing In Mail and iChat

I recently downloaded and installed the 10.6.3 Combo upgrade. As a result, the line spacing in both Mail and iChat have gone crazy! The font size is correct, but the spacing is huge. So, it both reading and writing emails nearly impossible.
I am not sure if it is something in the Upgrade, or something in my system. I have tried everything I know: Emptying All Caches, Deleting plist files, Repairing Permissions.Nothing seems to help. Which leads me to believe that something was altered in the 10.6.3 Upgrade to cause this problem.
Anyone have the same problem? Anyone have a solution?

Have you added, removed, or otherwise altered any fonts?

"Line Spacing" vs. leading

How does "Line Spacing" in static or dynamic text fields
(explicitliy set in the "Formatting Options" window) compare w/
"leading" when creating a text field w/ AS?
Is a "Line Spacing" setting of 10 the same as my_fmt.leading
= 10;?
In a Flash 7 file I'm trying to get the spacing between lines
in an AS-created text field to be closer than default, but it seems
that leading can be a positive value. But if a similar static field
looks good w/ Line Spacing set at 0, why is there no equivalent w/
leading?

To clarify... If the query row is omitted from the
indexed/array notation, then isValid() and <cfparam />
produce different results.
In the attached code example below, the query row was omitted
intentionally to illustrate.
Two possible solutions are:
1) Make isValid() throw an error (so that they both throw an
error)
2) Make <cfparam /> not throw an error (so that they
both do not throw an error)
I feel the behavior should be consistent. Does anyone feel
otherwise? If the behavior should be consistent, then which
solution, or other solution, is preferred?
Let's discuss!
Thanks,

Permanently save line spacing in a multi-line text field

Me: Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro, Windows Vista
(I think the people who will be using the form have Reader 7 on Windows)
I work in a doctors' clinic, and we use phone message sheets to document conversations between the patients/us/nurses/doctors, and I scanned the form and made it into a fillable PDF for our secretaries to fill out more quickly. The "message" area has pre-printed lines on it, and the multi-line text field I placed there needs to match up to the lines. I used the Rich Text Formatting options to set it to "Exactly 24 Points," but I can't get it to KEEP the formatting permanently. The only way I could get it to save the formatting in that field was to put a space in it and then save it, and then give that to the 2 phone secretaries. It works perfectly the first time, but instead of just closing/re-opening the file to start a new message, one of the secretaries highlights everything in the "message" field and deletes it... which deletes the line spacing formatting. I've told her
b numerous
times to leave that starting space in the field, but she "forgets" so all of her messages look messed up. So is there a way to force that line spacing
b PERMANENTLY
???? Here's a shrunken screenshot of the field -- I wish I could just erase the lines altogether so the spacing wouldn't matter, but the secretaries type/print the message out, then the nurses/docs write on the page with pen so the lines have to stay. http://img187.imageshack.us/my.php?image=notepreviewph8.jpg
Thanks!

You can set the font size of the text. Then play with the underlines in the original document to match the needs of the font that is used. Print to a new PDF and then use replace pages to put the new page into the form without changing the form fields. I was able to do this with a word processing document by adding underlining in the document with 12 pt and setting the font to 12 pt in the text field. You can play with the font, the border of the field, and the underlining in the original document to get the desired result. Is this optimal, probably not. However it does the job.

How can I change or reduce the line spacing to single in a "multiple lines of text" column in a list?

We keep many logs in a simple list format. One of the columns requires a description using the "multiple lines of text" default column. Sometimes the person making the entry needs to complete about 20-30 lines of text. Users are requesting we reduce
the amount of space advanced between lines to save space and be more concise. Is there a way to reduce the line spacing for the column entries to single spacing without code?

We determined that the site column settings were incorrect for allowing single spacing, we changed the site column setting from "Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks)" to "Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment, hyperlinks)"
and it is now keeping the text in single spaced lines.
<label for="onetidRichText">Specify the type of text to allow:</label>
<input id="onetidRichTextPlain" name="RichText" title="Plain text" type="radio" value="PLAIN" />
<label for="onetidRichTextPlain">Plain text </label>
<input id="onetidRichTextCompatible" name="RichText" title="Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment, hyperlinks)" type="radio" value="COMPATIBLE" />
<label for="onetidRichTextCompatible">Rich text (Bold, italics, text alignment, hyperlinks)</label>
