I apologize in advance because I think someone already raised this
recently -- but I wasn't really paying attention. So at the risk of
repetition...

In Word 2004 a carriage return at the end of a paragraph took me down
one line.

It still does, but the spacing is such that it looks like two lines --
in other words a new paragraph separatd by a space takes only a single
Return, not two.

This may be convenient for some, but I would prefer to go down two lines
by hitting Return twice -- and actually getting two lines.

What do I have to do to get what I want?

TIA

Huh.

To change in just this document, select all, go to Format | Paragraph.
Look down to the find the Spacing: After field, and change 10 to 0.

To change this in all documents created from now on, change the Normal
style.

First, select Format | Style. Normal should be selected.

Click on Modify--make sure "add to template" is CHECKED.  You'll see a
Format menu in the bottom of the dialog--select  Paragraph from it, and
change the Spacing: After setting from 10 to 0.

:)  That was the *very* short version. Your pre-emption made me delete
the longer one. :)

Glad to help. Guess I'll go write an article on it.
