Default In mail merge, unwanted line spaces in the address block

Word 2007 labels (as with all Word version labels) are table cells. Table
cells are by default formatted with the normal style, which in Word 2007 has
different standard paragraph format settings from earlier versions. You
should be able to correct what you are seeing by using the Word 2003 style
set - or simply apply an unspaced style to your table.

I have the same problem. None of your suggestions helped. Word 2007
seems to only print AddressBlock in single space if you use a
template. If you use Mail Merge with current document, and then
insert AddressBlock, it always comes up double spaced. It does not
matter weather the paragraph AddressBlock was inserted to is single
or double spaced. This is quite frustrating because I don't always
want to have to use MS templates.

If you are using Word 2007, make sure you are in the preview labels
screen. Go to the Home Tab. On the right of the ribbon, choose
Select, then Select all. All the labels should be highlighted.
Then go to Paragraph in the lower middle of the ribbon. Click the
middle square with the little up and down arrows. Select Remove
space before paragraph. This should remove that space on all the
addresses.

Or, instead of using the Address Block, just insert the individual
mergefields in the configuration that you require.

When I do a Mail Merge, the address block gives me double spaces.
How do I
get a single space? I have tried Help but see nothing regarding
this!
