Default Single-spaced lines in notepad pasting badly into Word2007

I have a group of URLs, single spaced, in notepad that I want to paste
into Word2007. When I do that, they all get inserted as new
paragraphs, with an extra line before, so it all looks double-spaced.
Is there any way I can set the paste to not use formatting?
Alternatively, is there a format I can apply afterwards that will
remove that extra line?
Thanks for any suggestions.

You can select the text and apply the No Spacing style.

Thanks, Stefan. Alas, that shortens line length, but not interlinear
spacing.

You can change the line spacing for the No Spacing style. Right-click No
Spacing in the styles pane and choose Modify from the context menu. Click
Format, Paragraph, and specify "Single" for "Line spacing."

Alternatively, you can change the line spacing for the Normal style (which
is the "parent" style for No Spacing), or you can change the document
defaults (in the Styles pane, click Manage Styles, and then click the Set
Defaults tab).

If that changed the line length, then you have done something wrong--perhaps
changed from Justified to Left alignment. What you want to do is click the
dialog launcher (small arrow in the bottom right corner of the Styles group
on the Home tab and choose the No Spacing style. Alternatively, you can use
Home | Styles | Change Styles | Style Set | Word 2003.

You guys are killing me. Here I am trying to write a simple paper entitled
"The Pitfalls of Net Neutrality in a Christian Country with mostly Christian
Legislators and Legislatures" and you want me to be looking for little tiny
arrows among a set of controls I hate looking at because they are so crowded
and inelegant while I want to be concentrating on the salacious details. Is it
too much to ask for a simple switch to turn Word into a simple editor that
produces a product that I can paste easily into a Facebook Note?

If you're typing something to paste into a Facebook Note, then Notepad or
WordPad would be more appropriate.

Alas, I want something that does more than Notepad, though I intend to drop
the finished paper into Notepad before pasting it into Facebook. Wordpad
might, indeed, be the ticket.

Actually, Word isn't as difficult as I have made it out to be. When I
remarked about the problem to my wife, she said to use the option to keep
text only when you OK the paste. That didn't work, but keeping the source
formatting did. It picked up a very strange font, but that is easily
corrected.

Now, this is probably something I can remember.

The real problem turned out to be the Facebook editor. Even after I
dropped the word document into Notepad, the Facebook editor treated
each sentence as a separate paragraph. So I spent a lot of time
deleting CR-LFs and spaces to get the lines to meld properly. Then I
couldn't attach a note to a message, so I did it all over again in the
message object. Alas, I was ultimately told that the message was too
long to send. Real time bummer. Giving up, I posted to my MSMVPS blog
and just included a URL to that document in the message.
