How do I change the document template format to single line spacing and also justified text alignment? Neither are options from the formatting menu but I'm assuming there's a way to do it in the source code? Thank you.

Document Template alignment

+24I'm just guessing here and I'm not sure if you're talking about native document generation or the Quick Base extensions (formerly Juiced), but I think it's all about the Word Template that you're using so this is going to be controlled by Word.
I often found myself since I was not relieved proficient in advanced Word that's where I struggled the most. So maybe with a little ChatGPT AI help you can get help to get your Word Document Template formatted to your liking.
+2Yes, the native document template generation. I know when I try to copy and paste from word, it automatically reformats as double line spacing. But I will also try importing from word to see if that changes the result. I'm winging it when it comes to any kind of html code but I do pretty decent with copying other formulas and figured someone would have a suggestion.
+9You're right, it's done in source mode. The template builder lets you edit the HTML directly and supports inline style attributes, so you can wrap the text in a div with the CSS you want:
<div style="text-align: justify; line-height: 1.0;">your text and field markers here</div>
If the spacing still looks big, it's usually the gap between paragraphs, not the line height, so add margin: 0; to the p tags too.
HTML doesn't always convert perfectly to Word and PDF, so generate a test document to check it before you roll it out.
