#HOW TO CHOOSE PARAGRAPH SPACING IN WORD 2016 FULL#
Office 365 does not offer the full functionality of MS Word so we recommend students use the desktop version of MS Word (Word 2016). Walden students have access to both Office 365 and the desktop version, MS Word 2016.

Tip: If you don't see the option you need, move your cursor to a new location in your document OR highlight the space between paragraphs. This has to be done in each document unless you adjust your default settings. Select "Remove Extra Space" to remove the extra space. Click on the Line and Paragraph Spacing icon in the Home Ribbon. Set your cursor to the location of the paragraph spacing.
Remove the Default Space Between Paragraphs: To return to the original settings later, go to Design > Paragraph Spacing and choose the option under. This should be removed to comply with APA 7 standards. To single space your document, select No Paragraph Space. *Note, the default paragraph spacing in MS Word 2016 is "Open" or with a space after each paragraph. APA formatting requires papers to be doubled-spaced, which can be done through Line Spacing. In Microsoft Word, you have the option to adjust the spacing between paragraphs.
