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

If you are using Word 2007, do the following to change the defaults back to
those of Word 2003: First, create a new, blank document. Then, on the Home
tab, click Change Styles | Style Set | Word 2003. Finally, click Change
Styles | Set as Default. If/when you are prompted to save the Normal
template, choose to do so.

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.
