Spaces between lines

[jocaan]

Many times when I copy some web text to MS Word there is a space between
paragraphs or between a caption(or title, etc) of a paragraph and the body of
the paragraph that the cursor will not enter itself between. E.G., I cannot
close the gap so that there is only, lets say 1/8" between the lines as in
this text I am writing.
So the gap is

like this and I cannot close the gap by selecting the text and entering such
a small amount. Also I tried looking at some places under the Format menu
but still cannot find the tool to do this.
There is a Line Spacing ICon on the Word menu and this drop down box shows
line spacing from 1.0 and .5 increasing increments but this does not change
the text to a smaller space between paragraphs.

Have you looked at Format > Paragraph... > Space after or Space before?

Yes, I understand now. I put a "0" in each box and there are not more big
spaces. Thanks, Frank C.
