Envelope addresses coming out double-spaced

[Daze N. Knights]

I had to do a clean reinstall of Windows XP and Office 2007 on my mom's
PC. She now finds that, when printing envelopes for letters created
*before* the reinstall, the addresses print normally (single-spaced),
but when printing envelopes for letters created *after* the reinstall,
the *to* addresses print out double-spaced, while the return addresses
print normally (single-spaced). Can anyone give me a clue as to why?

If you check the options in the print envelope dialogue, you can change it there.

If settings in the options for print envelope dialogue are affecting
this situation, why do the addresses on envelopes for all of my mom's
old (pre-reinstall) letters print normally (single-spaced)?

After more investigation, I have discovered that the problem has nothing
to do with print envelope option settings, but rather with the Header
settings used when creating the letter in Word. The default header
setting seems to be "Normal," which results in double-spacing of
headers, including any address typed at the top of a letter. To avoid
this problem, one needs to first change the header setting to "No
Spacing," which results in an address that prints out on an envelope
properly single-spaced.

So, now, my new question is:

How can I make "No Spacing" the default header setting?

AFter you get everything set the way you want, press the "default" button on the bottom of the dialog.

What "default" button on the bottom of what "dialog"? On the Home
ribbon, in Styles, I click "No spacing," but find no default button to
click anywhere.

I just had this issue and resolved it.

When you open up Word in Microsoft Office 2007 at the top under the
Home tab you will see a list of styles which in turn formats the style
of your header.
The default is "Normal". If you right click this big "Normal" button
you will see a drop down window at which you can choose "Modify". This
will open up a "Modify Style" dialog box. At the verry bottom left of
this box you will see a "Format" button. Click on this and choose
"Paragraph". Under "Spacing" you will notice that the "After" section
is defaulted to 10pt and "Line Spacing" is set to multiple. Change the
"After" to "0pt" and "Line Spacing" to "Single".

Hit "OK" button (at bottom)

IMPORTANT!!!

If you would like this to default on every document from here on out
when you create the document. At the bottom of the "Modify Style"
dialog box click the radio button that says "New documents based on this
template" and hit the "OK" button (at the bottom of the box)

I hope this helps!
