Double spacing on labels

[lawsonfred]

In Word 2007, when I print a label or envelope it double spaces it - why?
How do I have paragraph spacing in the letter as normal and no paragraph
spacing in the labels and envelopes?
I would have thought MS would have got this right by now.
I keep spending money updating and it just seems to get more complicated
rather than easier.

There has been a lot of discussion on this in the forum this week - but see
http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm which covers the
issues.

Surely this can't be that complicated to produce a label without doulbe
spacing. All I want is a sheet of sticky labels of my own details, not a
whole lot of mail merge stuff and pages of unintelligible instructions
wasting my time when I could be out in the fresh air.

You only have to read the note!

It explains the reasons for the added space and how to overcome it.

Yes, but how do I modify to get both no spacing on the letter and also labels
with no spacing. It still doesn't work for the labels. Can't someone
explain it short simple English please. I wish I had never upgraded to 2007
- I mistakenly thought it would be better.

It won't help with the essential style related problem from Word.
