Default Looks double-spaced but Word says it's single-spaced

Have you turned on Show Non-Printing Characters (Ctrl-Shift-8) to check
whether there's a space character, or something, that has a large point-size?

FORMAT -- PARAGRAPH -- SPACING
Make sure that "Before" and "After" are both "0 pt"


I have the same problem but only one line in the paragraph is
double-spaced! I have high-lighted the line and it shows "Before" and
"After" are both "0 pt". I've also checked other similar paragraphs and
are are all single-spaced! Please advise!


Thanks Peter,

I will certainly try that if it I encounter it again but I simply
"re-typed" that line in another location, copied it, & pasted it over
the double-spaced line, and it solved the problem!
