The Spotlight Office [Featured Workspace]

In: Coding

19 Jan 2010

Today’s featured workspace is a well laid-out office packed into a space the size of a modest walk-in closet.

Lifehacker reader Matt Froggett turned a tiny room into a pleasant workspace by layering his equipment—his tertiary monitor is angled in front of his router and printer for example—and using the vertical space for notes, a white board, and shelving to keep things off the main desk. One of the neat little touches in his office is the LED up-lighting. Matt wired some orange LED lights onto the 12v rail of his computer’s mother board and tucked them behind his desk and on the shelf above his desk to create some dramatic ambient lighting. Click on the photo above and below to get a closer look.

If you have a workspace of your own to show off, throw the pictures on your Flickr account and add it to the Lifehacker Workspace Show and Tell Pool. Include some details about your setup and why it works for you, and you just might see it featured on the front page of Lifehacker.

Anne adored her movie stars. She would clip out their photos from various magazines or newspapers and taped the pictures above her writing desk.

The links I am including are actually for castle beds, but they show the towers on each side. I would still use the center section, pushed back against the wall for the castle effect. Some of the pictures also have some painting ideas too.
With some modifications, something like this might work.

Don't forgrt one of these:

Not sure what kind of mural you are doing, but here are some pictures:

Maybe you better just get a string of incandescent lights. They look nicer anyway. Don't you think the LEDs look "cold"?

Line spacing (single, double) pertain only to lines within a paragraph. Spacing between paragraphs are controlled by the Before and After spacings in the Paragraph dialog box.

Since you've already checked out the intra-paragraph spacing and it looks normal, I have to ask, Are you pressing the Enter key at the end of every line? If so, in addition to the probable fix below, I suggest you stop pressing Enter except at the end of the paragraph and let Word do the right word spacing. In fact, that feature, known as word wrap, was one of the first features of true word processors.

Now to try to fix the spacing.

1.Click in an affected paragraph.
2.Click the Home tab on the Ribbon.
3.Click the arrow in the lower right corner of the Styles section.
4.The style for your paragraph should have a bold box around it.
5.Hover the cursor over the style. A listbox arrow should appear. Click it.
6.Select Modify from the list box.
7.Click the Format button and select Paragraph.
8.In the Spacing section, make sure the Before and After combination boxes have zeros in them. You might also make note of the Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style checkbox.
9. Click OK.
10. If you want this to carry forward to other documents based on the template this one is based on, click the radio button for New Documents Based On This Template.
11.Perform the adjustments you want in the indentation section.
12.OK out of everything.

All paragraphs in the document with that style should adjust themselves.

When you close your document, you may see a warning message asking if you want to save the changes to Normal.dotx. This is an anti-virus measure, intended to alert you that something has changed in Normal.dotx. In this case, you made the change, so you want to accept it.

That should do it.

Try changing your layout more, its bound to work if you try different layouts, or you can save all your information and delete your account and start over but i doubt you would want to.
