Was the spacing in your document applied as direct formatting, or is that
the spacing defined in the style? What happens if you select one of the
existing paragraphs and press Ctrl+Q?

The problem just happened again.
I cut some text from a web page, I pasted it using Paste
SpecialUnformatted
Text, and when I go to type after it, it is now double spaced.
When I highlight that newly double spaced area and go to FormatParagraph,
it does in fact show some odd results. Space Before and After show "Auto"
and Line Spacing shows "At Least 14.25".
I've confirmed that before the Paste Special, the Paragraph formatting was
Space Before/After "0" and single line spacing. Why would Pasting
Unformatted Text change those settings?
Thanks

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.
