Go to Format | Paragraph and check in the space before and space after
section. There is probably some extra space here. Set both to 0. Does this
solve your problem?

I often cut and paste text from the web to Word XP, and somehow in that
process the line spacing changes from single spacing to double, so that when
I then add my own comment and hit the Enter key, I get two line spaces. And
then it stays that way for the rest of the document. I find this quite
irritating, and if I go into Format/Paragraph it still shows it as single
space, so there is nothing I can do about it. If I highlight a portion of
the document (or the whole document) and go to Format/Paragraph/single
spacing, it still does not help the problem.

I know that when this happens I can do a Shift/Enter and get single spacing
for just that line, but it is troublesome to remember to do that on every
line as I am working more on the document.

I also use WordPad quite a bit, and it happens there too.

If you have any ideas, I would be very grateful.

Thank you.
