Paragraph Spacing

Creating a new Blank document.

The first paragraph, under Heading 4, appears to be single spaced, the way I
want it.
The following paragraph, under another heading 4, has the appearance of one
and a half spacing. Even when I go back and appy Style 2 to this paragraph,
it doesn't change this paragraph to match the first paragraph.

Below are the settings, if it helps.

Using Style 2 for all paragraphs.
Settings for Style 2:
Name Style 2
Style Based on Plain Text
Style for the Following paragraph Style 2

Paragraph Indents & Spacing
Spacing
Before 0
After 6 Line spacing Single

How do I get the spacing in the second paragraph to match the spacing in the
first paragraph?

SOLVED!
I inserted arrow symbols which affected the line spacing.
Another post got me thinking along these lines.
Thid site is very helpful.

Setting the Line Spacing to "Exactly" is the recommended way to deal
with paragraphs containing text or inline graphics of different sizes.

If the purpose is to put a (sufficiently small) graphic, a Microsoft
Equation object, or a character of (slightly) larger font size in a
text paragraph (that is, on the same line as text), you'd have to
specify a fixed value for line spacing. Otherwise, line spacing would
vary from one line to the next. I'm sure you can find a lot of posts
at www.google.com recommending fixed line spacing in such cases.

Very often, though, you'd want to keep inline objects alone in the
paragraph (you use it only to avoid the drawing layer). Of course, my
remark on fixed line spacing doesn't apply in such circumstances.

Recommended by whom? Not even Microsoft endorses lousy typography.
