This is how I would do it with Word XP (2002). I assume a similar procedure would work with Word Vista (2007):



1.Click in the paragraph.



2.Click on the Format-%26gt;Styles and Formatting menu item.



3.In the bottom part of the sidebar that pops up, the style for your paragraph should have a bold box around it.



4.Hover the cursor over the style. A listbox arrow should appear. Click it.



5.Select Modify Style from the list box.



6.Click the Format button and select Paragraph.



7.I suspect you have a non-zero value in the After text box. If so, set it to zero. Ditto if there's anything in the Before text box.



8.OK out of everything.



All paragraphs in the document with that style should adjust themselves.



Now, you want to carry this one step further and fix the style on the template your document is based on (probably Normal.dotx, but not necessarily) so it's PERMANENT. Do this:



1.Click the Tools-%26gt;Organizer menu item.



2.In the left-hand list box, find and click on the style you changed.



3.Click the Copy button between the two list boxes.
