Default Mail Merge and Spacing

Greetings:

I do a lot of mail merge for letter, envelopes and labels.

On 2003 mail merge the spacing between the lines of Name, Company, Address,
and City was the normal 1..... in 2007 there is an unnecessary space between
all the lines (looks like spacing 1.5) althought it is not that spacing and
is not identified when I go to paragraph where I was hoping to change the
settings in order not to have a predefined spacing between paragraphs.

The same happens when I type in a word document. If I allow the cursor to
freely wrap to the next line there is not this troubling space. But if I need
to press return to go to the next line the cursor jumps down at least 1.5 if
not 2 spaces. I don't want this to happen either on my word document, word
mail merge or word mail merge for envelope...

I need to get rid of this spacing. I have to get rid of this spacing.

Can someone point me in the right direction to get rid of this troubling
spacing... HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This 2007 is really different... I was not prepared for it when the boss
installed it on the company server and then told us we had upgraded.

Default Mail Merge and Spacing

Use a line break (Shift+Enter) instead of a paragraph break (Enter) between
lines.
