prevent defaulting

[Dave Davison]

When I open a blank Word doc the "Spacing After" sometimes defaults to 10, how can this be set permanently to zero please? Cheers Dave.

Click the little arrow in the lower right corner of the Paragraph group of the Home tab of the ribbon (below "10 pt" in your screenshot).
Set the Spacing After to 0 pt, and set other defaults if you like.
Click the 'Set As Default' button at the bottom of the dialog.

In the dialog that appears, select 'All documents based on the Normal.dotm template', then click OK.

Thanks Hans, not a crisis but another little small hurdle ticked off. Cheers Dave.
