Remove Paragraph Not Working

Question

When I type paragraphs or lines, etc., I don't want to add a line after the document.  I want to double space.  So, I have Remove Space After Paragraph and Remove Space Before Paragraph set.  All of a sudden it's not working.  I changed to Add for both and it's doing the same thing.  Then I changed back to Remove.  It's still adding an extra line after the paragraph.  The only time it doesn't is when I'm typing bullets.

Why is this happening all of a sudden?  Was there an update to Microsoft Word 2010 that caused this?  How do I fix it?  I really don't have the money right now to upgrade to Microsoft Office Professional 2016 right now.

Please respond to this questions at ******@msn.com.  Thanks.

Rather than depend on these buttons, go to the Paragraph dialog (easiest way is to right-click and choose Paragraph...) and choose your desired settings. Better still, define a style that has your preferred settings and apply it as required. See also

Hello,

See Suzanne's response. This is not a bug or something to be repaired. It is how Word works, at least since Word 2003. It frustrates people who expect Word to act like a typewriter.
