this resume is looking pretty good but
there's just one problem I'd really like
for it to fit on one page but I don't
want to delete anything I think I could
probably make it fit if I just adjust
the spacing a little bit word allows you
to adjust the line spacing and the
paragraph spacing which is the extra
space before or after a paragraph start
by selecting some text
and then end the paragraph group click
the line and paragraph spacing command
by default the line spacing is 1.15 you
could also change it to 1.0 which is
single spaced or 2.0 which is double
spaced but if you want to have precise
control over the line spacing click line
spacing options
there are two things here that you can
change the line spacing mode and the
amount when the mode is set to multiple
you can type in the number of lines of
spacing you want the default is 1.15 so
we might change it to something like one
point zero seven to bring the lines a
little bit closer to single spaced but
if you're more accustomed to measuring
in points like with font sizes you can
select exactly
since I have 11-point text I'm going to
make the line spacing a little bit
bigger than that so that the lines
aren't too close together
now I'll try to adjust the line spacing
for the work history and education
this still has a lot of extra space
that's because in this case each line is
a separate paragraph and if you click
the show/hide command you can see all of
the paragraph marks
after each of these paragraphs word is
adding paragraph spacing which we want
to get rid of
make sure the text is selected
then click the line and paragraph
spacing command and then at the bottom
of the list there are two options I'm
going to select remove space after
paragraph
just like with line spacing if you want
to fine-tune the paragraph spacing go to
line spacing options
and then you can type in whichever
values you want for the spacing before
and after
I think I just want three points after
each paragraph
it's still not quite fitting on one page
so I'm going to see if there are any
other sections where I can remove some
spacing
let's try removing some of the paragraph
spacing from here
alright it looks like it's all on one
page now like what you just saw rate it
