Single to double to single space

Some documents, such as papers submitted for review or publication, must be double-spaced for printing. Editing such a document on screen, though, is a pain. Here's how to have it both ways in Word 6.0 and later.

Create and save your document in normal single-spaced format. Just before printing, press <Ctrl>-A to select the entire document, then press <Ctrl>-2 to double-space the lines. Print as usual. Once printing is finished, press <Ctrl>-A again, then press <Ctrl>-1 to return to single spacing.
