Line spacing

[DickRyan]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)
Processor: intel

I tried to set up a letterhead using center positioning. When I hit the return key to put in the address the spacing appears to be double. When I try to put in the addressee name and hit the return key and there is a double space (although palette shows single space)
If I type a full line using the center positioning and keep typing until I hit the margin it will start the new line in single spacing.
I can't figure out why the Return Key defaults to a double space. Help!

It's not actually double-spacing that is the problem. Word changed the
default to add more space between paragraphs, so that each paragraph
will be single-spaced, but between paragraphs, you get extra space.
Paragraphs are created every time you hit enter.

To change in just this document, select all, go to Format | Paragraph.
Look down to the find the Spacing: After field, and change 10 to 0.

To change this in all documents created from now on, change the Normal
style.

First, select Format | Style. Normal should be selected.

Click on Modify--make sure "add to template" is CHECKED. You'll see a
Format menu in the bottom of the dialog--select Paragraph from it, and
change the Spacing: After setting from 10 to 0.
