Fix the increased line height in Office 2007/2010

Starting in Word 2007 Microsoft has decided to make the default style have larger spacing between lines. As you are well aware this give the impression of a double line break or a new paragraph. Luckily you can fix this.

• Open a new Word window
• Click on Change Styles

• Expand Style Set and then select Word 2003

• Open Change Styles again and select Set as Default

• (On some machines you may need to repeat these steps more than once and close/reopen Word for the changes to stick)
