On the Layout tab of Page Setup, change the vertical alignment from
Justified to Top.

I have been using Microsoft Office 2003 for quite some time on my Windows

XP
system. Now suddenly I am experiencing strange line spacing in Word. For
example, after typing the first line of text and hitting Enter, the cursor
skips halfway down the page.

What is causing this behavior? How do I get it corrected? Normally I use
single spacing for nearly everything to be typed, and when paragraph
separation is desired, I just hit Enter.

Thank you.

I write several messages and then send them in a batch, which causes some
delay, so you may well have seen Jay's post before mine appeared.

I understand, but I'd rather think of it as a time warp. As Spock would say,
"Fascinating".

A lot of us do post in batches (especially those who answer offline), and it
often results in the appearance of us stepping on each other's toes because
we're all operating "in the dark" so to speak. Occasionally there will be
essentially duplicate posts sent at the exact same time (great minds
thinking alike--and simultaneously!).
