I see the preview panel for reading an email without opening it.ī) From the menu bar, go to Tools -> Options -> Composition -> General Results: on the left I see all the email accounts I've linked and their folders (inbox, sent, junk, etc). Okay, here are my results following your instructions: Doing this will change the default composition type from "paragraph" back to "body text", and make the enter key to provide single spacing rather than double spacing again. Uncheck the box that says "when using paragraph format, pressing the enter key creates a new paragraph'. Go to the main Thunderbird window and select the following from the menu bar -Tools > Options > Composition > General tab, 2. Gmeades said TO CHANGE THE DEFAULT COMPOSITION TYPE BACK TO "BODY TEXT" The important thing, it is easiest to find and change the setting from the window for writing an email. Here are the direction I previously posted, but removing the story around it. There is NO menu option "Tools" on the mail Thunderbird window - "Tools" menu option only appears if I try to start a new email message.
#HOW TO SINGLE SPACE IN WORD PERFECT MANUAL#
I'd much rather have Enter do only a single space I can always hit it twice to double space between paragraphs (I've been doing that since I first used an electric rather than manual typewriter).Īn "HTML" option DOES NOT EXIST under the tools/options/general tab. Word processors usually have a "line" option that allows for this (at least WordPerfect, which is still the best word processor, does). However, I also will sometimes type my name, address, and telephone number at the end of the message, using Enter for each to line, and I cannot find a way to make Thunderbird singlespace at that time. When I hit the Enter key Thunderbird automatically doublespaces, which is fine for text as it separates paragraphs.
#HOW TO SINGLE SPACE IN WORD PERFECT UPDATE#
I think that this problem arose only with the most recent update to Thunderbird, which I installed yesterday or today (April 22). Hopefully this helps with anyone else still having trouble with this and looking for a solution. (Make sure the email body are is selected to confirm.) To default to 'body text' clear the check box, to default to 'paragraph' check the box.ħ) Click 'OK' at the bottom of the option window.Ĩ) Close the window for writing a new email.ĩ) Click 'Write' to compose a fresh email, the default should be as set in step 6 by that check box. If not, select 'Composition'.ĥ) Make sure the 'General' tab is selected.Ħ) In the 'HTML' section located the "When using paragraph format, the enter key creates a new paragraph" check box. Now that I have clarified what setting is needed to get 'body text' as default, what is the quickest way to get it active?ġ) Click 'Write' to start composing a new email.Ģ) In the window for writing the email, click the 'Tools' menu.Ĥ) This should have 'Composition' selected (highlighted) with 'General', 'Addressing' and 'Spelling' tabs available. Uncheck compose fresh again, default 'body text'. So turning it back on and composing new, default 'paragraph'. So, I unchecked it and went to write an email. I'll just test by emailing myself using it." I finally gave in and tried this 'solution' thinking, "this probably makes paragraph behave like body text for me but will still look like paragraph to the one receiving it. "When using paragraph format, the enter key creates a new paragraph" The one solution that seemed to be provided implies that it changes how 'paragraph' setting behaves. Reading them over, it sounded like plenty of people had the issue but there weren't any clear solutions. Giving up, I have finally come to support to look for answers. I was particularly looking for 'composition' in the setting. I searched all of the settings, looking for something that would allow changing the default composition formatting. While composing a message, there is a drop box (only active when the email body area is selected) that will either be set to 'paragraph' or 'body text' by default and also has other options. Sometimes I like paragraphs, but often I will put sentences on separate lines but still want them against each other. Okay, I've been suffering with having 'paragraph' mode and manually switching to 'body text' so that I would have control.
