It is not the normal template that I mentioned, but the normal paragraph
STYLE. If you replace the normal template the original normal style, c/w
extra line spacing, will be restored. You need to edit the normal STYLE in
the normal template to remove the spacing from its paragraph attribute.

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.
