I have a problem with getting MS Word to single space a document. I put the Line Spacing Tab on single space and it tightens the text up a bit, but it is not true single spacing. It seems more like a space and a half. How can I get MS Word 2007 to give me true single spacing? Thanks!

Most likely, you have overlooked the Spacing Before and Spacing After settings; these must also be set to zero if you want no spacing at all (that is, not even when you press Enter to create a new paragraph).
You are welcome.
Thanks! I tried that and I got my single spacing back! Love to use this forum because you have all the answers!
