Default document is double spaced

Yes, nothing in the white space. Just one paragraph symbol at the end of a
paragraph. It looks as though it is supposed to be single-spaced with no
spacing before/after the paragraphs (according to all settings), and copying
it into a new blank document is indeed single-spaced, but cutting it and
pasting into the same document (any place in the document) causes it to be
double-spaced. There must be some setting that causes the entire document to
be double-spaced. We are checking with the originator to see how it was
created.

I troubleshoot a lot of documents and it is a real mystery to me.

We are working on a 45 page document that appears to be double spaced. None
of the styles or settings, however, indicate double spacing or extra
paragraph spacing. Everything is set for single and 0 spacing before and
after the paragraph. We are trying to change the spacing for a specific
paragraph to single so that the lines of text will all fit onto a page.

We have tried everything we can think of - switching back to normal, pasting
as unformatted text, etc. It continues to paste as double spaced. It is as if
the entire document has a setting of double spacing which I cannot find
anywhere.

So far, the only way we can get this to change back to single spacing is to
select all (the entire document) and paste special as unformatted text into a
new blank document. But that will be a lot of work to reformat and paste all
of the graphics in separately.

Does anyone know what could be causing this and how it can be changed back
to single spacing? Is there a setting for double spacing an entire document
(not just paragraph and line)?
