Default LINE SPACING TOO LARGE

Without knowing more about how you're creating your email I can't help with
that, but I would be interested to know what in my answer your interpreted
as derision and what words you consider "technical jargon."

That was of zero help. Technical jargon is useless to a person who doesn't
understand it! Maybe I'm the only person who thinks that it looks

ridiculous
to have three lines between my name, occupation, and company name in my

email
signature. I have never recieved an email that was formatted like this.

All I
want to know is how to get rid of the triple spacing between the lines of

my
emails, especially my signature. The reply from Stefan Blom helped me

reduce
the space between my lines, but the spacing was still too large especially

on
my signature. I don't need to be derided because I am a "newby" to news
groups, I need assistance with a real issue. Please, only reply if you can
give me useful information, such as the reply from Mr. Blom.

Please don't type in all caps. It's difficult to read, and in newsgroups
it's interpreted as SHOUTING. When you convert a Word document into HTML
(which is what Rich Text email is), paragraph breaks are converted to

two
line breaks, which is why you're getting a blank line.

THIS HELPS QUITE A BIT, THANK YOU. BECAUSE OF MY LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ON

HOW
TO
SET UP WORD OR OUTLOOK, I AM USED TO DOING MANY THINGS MANUALLY THAT

OTHERS
LET THE PROGRAM HANDLE AUTOMATICALLY. COULD YOU CLARIFY FOR ME WHY I

CANT
SET
SOMETHING, IN LET'S SAY THE FORMAT MENU, THAT WOULD ALLOW ME TO HAVE

THE
ENTER KEY ONLY MOVE ME DOWN ONE LINE.

Are you pressing Enter once to create a new line of text -- and

twice
to create a new paragraph? If so, this is the cause of your problem.
Instead, let Word handle the line wrapping (just continue typing!)

and
press Enter only once when you need a new paragraph.

WORD IS MY NOW MY EMAIL EDITOR AND I HAVE A PROBLEM. WHEN I TYPE

OUT
AN
EMAIL, THE SPACING BETWEEN EACH LINE IS LARGE ENOUGH TO PUT 2 MORE
LINES IN
THE SPACE. ALSO MY "SIGNATURE" IS SPACED OUT THIS WAY ALSO. I HAVE
TRIED ALL
THE SUGGESTIONS I COULD FIND IN THE POSTS CONCERNING ADJUSTING

LINE
SPACING
IN THE FORMAT/PARAGRAPH MENU. IT JUST DOESN'T WORK. I CAN MAKE THE
SPACING
EVEN LARGER, BUT WORD WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO MAKE IT SMALLER. THIS
REALLY LOOKS
BAD ON AN EMAIL. AM I MISSING SOMETHING OR HAS THE FUNCTIONALITY

OF
WORD BEEN
REDUCED IN 2003 JUST AS IT HAS IN OUTLOOK.
