Peter,
Cool. Wasn't actually a thousand tabs to get to the right spot, but my left
pinkie sure did get tired. Thanks for the tip.

Gerald.
You are correct. every time you press enter in a situation where you are
typing an envelope or when making a list you get a double space.
The word help page gives I think the best solution.
Using the ribbon,choose the home tab with alt-h.
Then tab a thousand times until you get to change styles (not styles) but
change styles.
Press enter and then choose style set with the arrow keys and press enter.
Then arrow down to word 2003 and press enter. This takes out the double
spacing when you press enter. It also changes the line spacing from 1.15
toregular single spacing.
To Now make this change perminent, Go threw the first steps again and when
you get to change styles, again press enter. This time arrow down to set
as default and press enter.
I hope this helps.
Peter
