Toolmaker,
I have the same problem as Mike and followed your instructions. It works
in
the document that I am working on but it does not change the default (or
the
Normal) the next time I write something. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Mike:
I think you must have altered your default paragraph style somehow. If
your
"Formatting" toolbar isn't visible, make it so: View Toolbars
Formatting. Then look at the style name next to the font name. Is the
style
you are using named "Normal"? (That's the default.)
(If it isn't, you'll need to work with the Normal.dot template: a
subject
for a different reply.)
To adjust the Normal Style, Go to "Format Styles and Formatting ..."
That
will open the Styles Task Pane (if you are using Word 2003). Find the
style
named "Normal". Right-click the style and select "Modify".
That opens the "Modify Style" dialog. In the bottom-left corner of the
dialog, click on the "Format" button. Select "Paragraph ..." Look at
the
row labeled "Spacing." If the "Before" and "After" boxes don't show "0
pt"
or "Auto", change each box to one or the other. "Auto" adds a little
bit of
extra space between paragraphs, depending on the font size. "0 pt"
leaves
just that, and that's the way I like it, myself 
Enjoy!

In Word when I hit return the curser jumps many lines down and I don't
know
how this happened and I can not get it back to normal.
How do I get it back to one line when hitting the return key?
