Cindy and Stefan,

I apologize because I failed to include one piece of information that I now
realize solves the problem. I was beginning the list by making it a number
list.

After reading your questions, I realized you were really checking every
detail. I even started new documents to make sure I was not adding spaces.
Then, I had an epiphany. I started the list without making it a numbered
list. When I placed the column break and continued on, the list remained
single spaced. Once I applied two columns through the format menu, everything
came out rosy. Then, I highlighted both columns and made them a numbered
list. It looks perfect.

Thank you for helping to answer this question!

Hi ?B?QmVhbmVyX1RlYWNo?=,

I am making a list of words (spelling test). Once I insert a column break,
the new column of words automatically double spaces.

Do you have the non-printing characters displayed on-screen? The one thing
that occurs to me is that there are lots of spaces after the words, forcing
what looks like double-spacing...
