Thanks, Graham....unfortunately, I've tried that....replacing the normal
document....and it holds for the rest of Word, but for some reason it doesn't
hold for the labels....keeps defaulting back to the 1.5 spacing. I can't for
the life of me figure out why a programmer would set 1.5 as the default in
the first place....but will keep working to try to work around it. I really
appreciate you responding to this query.

Labels, by default use the normal paragraph style, which in Word 2007
includes 1.5 line space.
For my installation I edited the normal style to have no line space and
replaced the No spacing style with a Normal spaced style to maintain
compatibility.

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.
