ok. i have a HUGE project i'm working on (~200 pages) and it's really annoying when the line spacing seems to randomly change. mostly after i put in tables (all 41 of them). is there a reason why line spacing changes would occur? i haven't touched them at all. thanks!

You mean a reason other than the fact that microsoft doesnt bug test?

i'm guessing that since its such a huge file, that it freezes from time to time when loading the file contents into memory. if u're impatient start clicking and doing stuff while its loading, u are the one who is changing the line spacing, but b/c of the "buffering" state that its in, MS Word doesnt immediately show the changes, thus resulting in u thinking that line spacing is changing randomly.


...or not. but thats my guess.


:hihi:

A file MS Office file that huge i would split up into several files. Maybe 25 - 50 pgs per file. Should make access quicker.
