single spacing really double spacing???

Hi Josh:

A spacing of "Single" refers to the line height. It means that the line the
characters are shown on is 120 per cent of the font height (if you are using
Times New Roman).

What you are seeing is the "Leading", which Word calls "Space Before" and
"Space After".

Somehow, you have inadvertently set your Normal style to "Automatically
Update". The next time you changed a paragraph, that setting was stored in
your Normal style. From then, it automatically applies to any document you
create.

To fix this, use Format>Style>Modify>Paragraph to change the space above or
space below on your Normal style. Then quit Word and say Yes when asked to
Save the Normal Template.

We need to keep repeating: Re-installing does NOTHING to fix things unless
you first run Remove Office Utility from the Extras folder of your Office
CD. Because re-installing does not replace files that already exist on the
disk.

Cheers
