Author notes

This is kind of odd, but I thought of it at work one night.... I have odd ways of getting my inspiration.... =-)
By the way.... does anyone know how to change the line spacing?!!?

    I am not sure if I do but there is this thing when you enter your poem that say fix line spacing just click it and that should do it. Thanks for sharing this and thanks for entering it into my contest

    (Addition to the comment below). That method will only work in 'WORD'. To get line spacing in 'WORDPAD', Highlight the passage. Then, while holding down Ctrl, press 1 for single line spacing, or 2 for double line spacing

    Interesting, if a bit staccato. By the way, to change line spacing. In most systems, (i) Highlight the passage. (ii) Put the pointer on the passage. (iii) Double right click. (iv) Click 'Paragraph' in the grid that opens. (v) Click on the arrowhead beneath 'Line Spacing'. (vi) Then click single, double (or whatever). (vii) Click 'OK'.
