sometimes when I copy and paste small bits of text from elsewhere, choosing
text only, it appears double spaced, and no matter what i try, i cannot
change it to single spaced. what am I doing wrong?

If the Line Spacing is correct, verify that the Spacing Before and After
(Format | Paragraph) is set to zero (or whatever you prefer).

Format paragraph Indents & Spacing tab Spacing
Set Before and After to 0, it's at "auto" now.

I should have asked if you want all that HTML formatting?

Edit Paste Special Unformatted Text

Highlight text and select "clear formatting" on your toolbar
