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:

Subject: [mso] Unwanted Double Spaced Headings in Word

Hi Group,

Often when I copy text out of a web page for printing in a new Word
document,
some of the original headlines result in unwanted double spacing.  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.

Ray Shapp
