Hi Chad, Microsoft Word was designed to have a default state for all documents. It happens that one of the defaults is single space. What you can do is type your documents, select all with Control A, then press Control 2 to change it to double space. There is a way to change the default line spacing, but once you do it, you will have to remember to change it back to single when you want to type a letter or other document that doesn't demand double spacing.
