Double Spacing

Hey I havn't tried double-spacing my documents here, but at lit.org, when I double space it on Microsoft Word, it whacks up (check out what happened on my story, The Dust of the Fallen). But what's worse is, Microsoft Word won't let me put it back to single-spacing! I guess this is kind of a post for lit.org, but I didn't know what to submit there, so I'll submit it here. Oh, and if your wondering, the reason I double space it is becuase that's what the publishers tell you to do when submitting your manuscript, which I hope I can do soon!

Let me look into it. There may be some tricks I can apply to help with that.

Double spacing is much better for reading!!!! I don't care who tells you different - they are just lazy I wish more people would double space between paragraphs. That's all I ask! Everything else can be single spaced, but double spacing between paragraphs makes it so much easier to read works online.

im not sure what the double space problem is but when i use apostrophes and other particular punctuation copied from word, i geta lot of funky numbers in between the letter that had the punctuation. not a big deal if the peice is short but its still a pain in the arse. thanx.
