I read the 6-25 posts and responses. I am unable to get the default to save
to single spacing. Although the steps in the previous posts were a little
different than what I see, I found the correct places to make the changes.
It will not save "New documents based on this template". It always reverts
back to "Only in this document". Please advise. Thanks.

That behavior is by design. Word only transfers style settings to the
template when you tell it to do so.

Is there no way to set the default for new documents to no spacing?

Open normal.dotm. Set the style at the cursor to the no spacing style (or
edit the normal style to have no spacing) type a character. Delete it and
save the template.

I did exactly as advised for both scenarios. What now happens is when I open
a new document and start typing and if I hit return, it double spaces. Any
return or new line after that is single spaced. If I type a full sentance
with no return or new line and let it automatically word wrap, it single
spaces. How do I correct this?

What does the style indicator suggest are the styles at the cursor on the
first line and on the subsequent paragraphs?
How are those styles setup with relation to both the paragraph spacing, line
spacing and following paragraph?
Change those three parameters to achieve the require results.

Make sure to set Spacing Before/After to zero for the style you are using.
