Take a look at your Heading 1 style. I bet the extra paragraph spacing is in there. This article I wrote for Neat Net Tricks might clear it up for you somewhat: http://personal-computer-tutor.com/wordformat.htm Linda F.

I have even copied the entire document into Notepad, and have removed the extra blank line between headings and the next paragraphs, but when I copy that text into Word, the extra spacing re-appears. I must have some kind of preference set, but I don't know what it is. Under Tools > Paragraphs, I have "body text" selected on the Indents and Spacing tab, and on the Line and Page Breaks tab, I have only Widow/Orphan control checked. When I select the headline, the extra blank line also gets highlighted. I also noticed that if I select the whole document, then in the Styles and Highlighting window, click Clear Formatting, nearly ALL the text runs together and the font changes to Times New Roman and 12 point. I'd really like to end up with one blank line between major sections, a single CRLF between the heading for each section and the paragraphs that follow the heading, and the whole document in Arial 10 point. Any ideas? Using Word 2002 under WinXP Home. Thanks for the help.
