1230255 2011-09-11 00:37:00 Can someone please tell me how to change the format of the blank page that word 2007 opens when you want a new document?

I have tried saving a different template but can't find the name of the basic new page.

Look forward to any comments

Thanks

1230257 2011-09-11 01:33:00 The original blank page has an extra line formatted onto the paragraph marker. This means an extra line is added to every time you start a new paragraph. - Very annoying! John Robb (825)

1230259 2011-09-11 01:39:00 This might not be what you want, but give it a go. Right click on your new document, left click on Paragraph, then go to Spacing (bottom of page), change the Before/After numbers as needed. Then click and save Default (at the very bottom) to make permanent changes. :) R.M. (561)

Quite true but it always looks better if the asker of the question has at least made an effort themselves.

Many thanks for your help. That has fixed it. I had spent a long time looking and trying to find normal.dotm and your help got me there.
Thanks again
