This is in a very long 500 page document in Word 2002.
There is a small area of text in a bibliography that for some reason has
areas where the space between lines is greater than the single space it
should be. I've checked and it is listed a single space between lines. How
can I correct this?

Example is at

Thank you.

Change the Before and After settings from Auto to 0.

FWIW, one of those paragraphs is Footnote Text, the rest Normal, and all
have had direct paragraph formatting applied. Better to define a
Bibliography style (with the required hanging indent) and apply it
consistently.

Thank you Suzanne. I was hoping to hear from you.

Yes some of this was copy/pasted.

You could also highlight the section and set the spacing to exactly 12 pt.

In this instance, it wouldn't help, as it wasn't the line spacing that was
the problem.

I had tried that but before asking the question but it did not seem to work.

Suzanne's advice worked. Although I had looked at the paragraph formating
which showed single space, I was not aware of the before and after settings.
When I changed it to 0 the problem went away. I also followed Suzanne's
advice and created a bibliography style that I applied everywhere I had a
bibliography throughout the book.

Thank you Jan.
