Hi Wayne, this is sure a pain isn't it? Yes, Word 2007 automatically provides a larger line space everytime yuou enter. This is to display a new paragraph. Do the following to turn this off completely.
1. alt + O and then P for paragraph. 2. tab to the edit spin box that says after. Once you are there press the zero on your number row. 3. tab to default hit enter, it says are you sure, hit enter again. This saves having to go to the ribbon and as well as the check box.

I am using Windows 7 64bit. I started noticing that my Word docs were going to a second page even though there were only 32 lines being generated. I check the font size and it was 12 pt. I asked a sighted friend to take a look and she told me that there was a full blank line between each line of text. I found a "Line Spacing" selection in the menus but even at 1.0 lines I still am getting an almost full blank line. Any thoughts on how to permanently get rid of the additional space would be appreciated. Thanks, in advance, for any help.
