Have you tried setting the Word 2003 style set as the default?

Yes, I can change the style, but I can't find where to make it ALWAYS use
that style by default. Everytime I start Word or a new file it defaults to
Normal.

The way they did that label crap in 2007 really sucks. I used to be able
to fit more information on a label. I also used to be able to hit enter to
make a carriage return on the label and then start typing. No longer.. now
when you hit enter it moves the whole label down on the page.

The normal style in the Word 2003 style set has no spacing, thus by
changing the style set, you change the default spacing.
Tables always use the normal style by default.
Labels created by the label tool should eliminate the extra space (though
in practice they don't always) - see

Yes, I know I can change styles.

I'd like it to ALWAYS use no spacing by default. When I create a new
document it's "normal" and I don't want that at all.

Apply the Word 2003 style set. (Change Styles on the Home Tab)

Is there a setting to make Word 2007 default to use "No Spacing" under
the Styles of the Home Tab?

It's very annoying that it defaults to normal. I never use it!!! It's
especially when doing a Mail Merge and I have to put Name, Name2,
Contact, Address, Address2, etc.. all on one tiny label. Can't do that
with the spacing it does by normal. Each time I have to change it to
no spacing.
