Er, sorry: "no spacing" where? Which way? Are you concerned that the characters - lines, indeed - are unnaturally widely spaced? Are these lines within a paragraph? Go to Format | Paragraph... | Indents & Spacing: set "Line spacing" to Fixed and then select your desired value.

Sorry, I got carried away with the description that Word 2007 uses. There is an icon called "no spacing". Each letter is on its own line, but each letter is part of a word, so there should not be any abnormal spacing.

For example, what I want (and what the Word 2007 "no spacing" option gave me) is:

J
u
n
i
o
r

What I'm getting is

J

U

N

I

O

R

Good.  That's exactly what I suspected you meant.

Spacing is set to single.

That's your problem. Set it to Fixed (as described above) and you can adjust it exactly as you please.
