Thanks for all the replies. I generally do use Paste Special-Unformatted
Text, and I 've also used Paste Options-Keep Text Only, but I still
experience the behavior where it seems to default to double spacing, but does
not indicate it as such in Format-Paragraph, so I can't seem to change it
back to Single Spacing.

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.
