Thanks for replying Karl, but that didn't work.

I tried an existing file, Ctrl+A (highlighted everything), but Ctrl+1 
did nothing.

So I tried a new file, then did Ctrl+1, pasted the text, still 
double-spaced.

This is for WordPad remember, not MSWord, if that's why it doesn't work.

In XP:

- For text already double-spaced, <Ctrl+A>, <Ctrl+1>.

- For a new file, <Ctrl+1>, paste or type in text.

For double-space, use <Ctrl+2>; for spaced 1-1/2, <Ctrl+5>.
