Using Windows 7, Office 07.

I do most of my typing into a simple text editor. I use a single line between paragraphs. I have my Word template set up the same way. At home > paragraph > spacing, I have it set to 0 pt, 0 pt, single.

I like to paste my typing from the text editor into Word to check spelling, grammar, etc. When I do that, I get a lot of variety in the space between paragraphs. It is single sometimes, but not often. Sometimes there is no line between paragraphs, and sometimes there are multiple lines between them. I checked paragraph > spacing the last time multiple lines showed up, and it said 0 pt, 10 pt, multiple.

Why does that keep dancing around and changing? When I go to open > templates > normal.dotm and open that, it does show the spacing I want, which is 0 pt, 0 pt, single. This has been happening for at least a couple of years.
