Default How do I stop Word putting big spaces between lines?

For the top justification problem, you have to do the same fix in the Normal.dot
template (or Normal.dotm if you have Word 2007). After changing the setting in
the Page Setup dialog, click the Default button at the bottom of the dialog to
change the Normal template.

To remove the grid, if you have Word 2003 or earlier, display the Drawing
toolbar. Click the Draw button at the left end, click Grid, and uncheck the
"Display gridlines on screen" option. If you have Word 2007, click the View tab
of the ribbon and uncheck the Gridlines box in the Show/Hide group.

I followed all the steps the ^p replacing,and there were 38 of them. Then did
the justified to the top setting and all this worked. No more typing one
sentence hitting enter and the next sentence starts at the bottom of the
page.
But I opened a new page and tried a couple sentences to see if it still
worked correctly, but it didn't. I have to change the setting from justified
to top so all sentences stay together.
Please help.
And if you can tell me how to get back to a plain sheet of paper instead of
a graph paper each time I open a new document cause I have no ideal how that
happened. I opened it up and there it was.
