Default Word 2003 Spacing

In Word 2003 under Format | Paragraph , there is something called Spacing.
Whenever I start a new document the Spacing is always set to Before 8 pt,
which makes every line doubled spaced. How do I stop the Spacing Before 8 pt.
Is it in Normal.dot. Do I need to rename Normal.dot and have Word 2003 make a
new Normal.dot?

no, you have to change the Normal style in your Normal.dot.

Modify Normal style and save the change to Normal.dot. For instructions on
modifying the style, see
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html. In the Modify
Style dialog, check the box for "Add to template."
