= SUMMARY =

With some document elements, such as the table of contents (TOC), you may want to have double spacing between TOC entries, while retaining single spacing when the entries wordwrap. To do this in a Microsoft Word document, use the Spacing After setting in the Format Paragraph dialog box rather than clicking the double-spacing icon on the ruler, which turns on 24-point Line Spacing in the Format Paragraph dialog box.

To correct this situation, the Table of Contents styles can be redefined for the document as follows:


 * 1) Once the table of contents has been compiled, place the cursor in the first line of the table of contents.
 * 2) From the Format menu, choose Define Styles.
 * 3) Select the style named “toc 1” (without the quotes).
 * 4) From the Format menu, choose Paragraph.
 * 5) Enter “Auto” (without quotation marks) in the Line box under Spacing if it is not already there.
 * 6) Type “12pt” (without quotation marks) in the Spacing After box.
 * 7) Click Define.
