    Microsoft To Do -- how to change from double spaced printing

    I switched over from Wunderlist. Was able to print lists from Wunderlist, single spaced. To Do prints double spaced only, and there seems to be no way to change that. Anyone figure out how to change to single spaced? My first contact with Office support
    suggested making changes to the settings in Microsoft Word. I tried but that did not help with To Do. Second suggestion was to contact Windows support, suggesting it must then be something in Windows Settings. Wasn't able to get connected with Windows support,
    so just checking here if anyone has an answer on how to get To Do to print single spaced lists?

  3. space bar double spaces

    Hello J B_001,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community!

    Thank you for posting about the situation you are experiencing. Based on your description, I understand that you are experiencing spaces departing twice when using your keyboard. I can offer you the following troubleshooting solution for your problem:

    • Connect another keyboard to your computer and use space to see if the space double-click also occurs. If this does not happen, it is very likely that your original keyboard is damaged, and you will need to try to repair your original keyboard to solve this problem. If you are still experiencing double clicks after trying another keyboard, then please continue with the following troubleshooting options.

    • Try reinstalling the drivers for your keyboard. Right click on this computer > Manage > Device Manager > Keyboard. Select the keyboard you are currently using and right click to uninstall the device, then restart your computer to see if the problem is resolved.

    Tell us the results and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We look forward to your response. Once the above questions are answered, we may recommend other troubleshooting steps.



    Sincerely,



    | Microsoft Community Support Specialist
