Default MS Word 2007 - Double Spacing Lines by default - how to turn off ?

Normal style line spacing in 2007 is set at multiline or 1.15 (of the point
size) instead of single. You may want to change that too.

If you have the Office Button (the Pizza) in the top left corner, you have
Word 2007. The Pizza is really just the old FILE menu and opens if you click
on it or use Alt+F (note that when you press ALT, Word will display all the
shortcuts for the various menus and ribbons).

The 'double-spacing' is in fact the Paragraph formatting, Space After
setting. Simply edit normal style so that Space After is set to zero.

On the Home Ribbon, right-click on NORMAL in the Style Gallery and choose
MODIFY. IN the dialog, check the 'New Documents based on this Template'
button and then select FORMAT, Paragraph and in the Format Paragraph dialog,
change the Space After setting to zero. Click on OK, OK and close Word. Say
YES to the question to save changes to the global template.
