Just use Shift+Enter (rather than Enter) between the lines of text on the
label.

About a year ago there was a very long string of emails regarding this
issue....and they didn't really give a good fix. Am hoping that by now
someone has figured out a satisfactory solution..... The default for
Labels
is that rascal 5.55 spacing before paragraph ....and there doesn't seem to
be
a way of getting that to just go Away!!

I know how to use a label template and have been doing so for a long time,
just as a time saver. However, I teach computer software to realtors and
a
lot of them are not totally 'puter savvy and just want the simplest way
possible to accomplish something. And using a single template is not a
viable solution, as the data bases do not all have the same fields.

With the new default for Mail Merge in Word '07 it is very cumbersome for
them to do the merges....It used to be so EASY!!! WHY oh why did they
have
to screw this up? I have tried everything I can think of to make the
single
space hold, but to no avail. I have gone up to Page Layout and made all
the
spacings zero and told it to set as Default....I've gone into the Normal
and
Modified the normal and told it New Documents Based on this
Template.....etc
etc. Has ANYONE come up with a SIMPLE fix for this yet? I'm hoping that
since a whole year has gone by maybe MSN has come up with a correction for
this. I figure if there is anyone anywhere who knows the answer, it's
going
to be here.......This is the BEST place to learn I've ever seen. Thanks
for
any help you can give on this.
