Kim, I hope you found out what was wrong... I bet it was character
formatting. I was able to reproduce what you mentioned by raising the
vertical position of the characters by 12 points.

Yes, I did check that and it was Top. It doesn't appear to have any
superscript or subscript formatting.

What is the vertical alignment setting (Layout tab of Page Setup)?
Another thought, in some previous instances documents have appeared to be
double-spaced because the text had been formatted as superscript or
subscript (and Zoom apparently changed enough to make this less obvious).

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.

what -- if anything -- appears in the white space between the lines of

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)?
