Default How do I stop double spacing after hitting the return key?

I have to do this over and over and over, because I NEVER use the default
spacing for lines or paragraphs; even when I click default after setting as
you said, it never remains default, I have to change the spacing each and
every time to avoid the double-spacing and between paragraphs. Is this a
failure of the software or is there something else I can do to make my
settings permanent until I change them? (It happens as well with a simple
3-line address macro: sometimes it double-spaces, sometimes not. ?

Select all (Ctrl+A)

Format | Paragraph | Indents and Spacing tab

Set the spacing before and after to 0"

Check the box that says "Don't add a space between paragraphs of the same
style"

Cheers!

The problem occurs when I hit return key. Apparently, this is a formatting
problem. Within the paragraph, I have double spacing. But when I finish a
paragraph and hit the return key to start a new one, the program
automatically double spaces it, which is not what I want. I want my
paragraphs to be single spaced from each other within the document. How do I
fix this?
Thanks.
