If you press “Enter” after typing a line in WordPad in Windows 7, program skips a line, this is a bug still not fixed by Microsoft. Rather than looking for temporary workaround for double space bug, you can permanently fix it with freeware tool WordPadFix.
Using WordPadFix
Download and install the program to your Computer, that’s it the bug will be fixed! you don’t need to configure or do anything with the app or with the WordPad either. After the app installation, WordPadFix will be active and the program adds it self to the startup programs list.
To uninstall this program you need to run the setup file and select “Remove” button.
You can question do we still need WordPad with Microsoft Office and other free office Software around? at times in systems without office software installed, WordPad can be useful for basic text editing tasks, don’t you agree?.
I don’t know what you’re talking about. That’s the default PARAGRAPH spacing, as most people would want their paragraph spacing in a document. It’s not skipping a ‘line’. All word-processors associate an enter with a new paragraph, and WordPad helps you out by selecting a double-spacing by default. If you want single-line spacing between paragraphs, just go up to the paragraph section and select 1.0, and uncheck the “Add 10pt space…”
Yes, dude—but you have to do that EVERY time you run WP. It won’t “remember” the setting. I think that’s the point (no pun intended).
