Solution for Word 2003 (U.S. version):

File Page Setup "Document Grid" tab Grid Select "No Grid"

That totally solved the problem for me. Hope that helps everyone! I figured it out with hints from these two links:

next" or the like).

Hi Brad -

I had a similar problem and Jay and Suzanne gave me some good advice

today.
Check the posts for 4/10/2005 on "Line spacing - too much lead."

If you've come up with any good fixes in the meantime, I'd be interested

in
hearing about them.

I am working in Word 2002 and received some Word 97 documents from

Japan.
These documents all appeared to be have line spacing greater than single
spacing, and I thought this might be because of Asian typography rules.

I copied and pasted those documents into new files based on my Normal
template. This fixed the line spacing issue for all of the documents

except
from one.

There is obviously something different about this one document, and I am
unable to fix it so that the line spacing looks like it is set at

single.
When I look at the properties of the style Normal, Word tells me that

the
whole document is set in single spacing, and that the language has been

set
at English (US), but it sure doesn't look that way.

Can anyone help???
