You may also want to follow the instructions in the "How can I fix a
corrupt document?" section of the article at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm to get rid of
possible document corruption. The procedure described in the
article can also be applied to a template, if the problem occurs with
newly created documents. If the problematic template in question is
the blank document template (normal.dot) there is a simpler fix: just
rename it and have Word create a fresh copy for you, as described in
the "Creating a new Normal.dot from scratch" section of the article at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...ocNotBlank.htm.

Thanks for the suggestions, but they didn't solve the problem.

There's no
value other than "0" set in the before/after, and in page setup, the

layout
is set to "top." What puzzles me is that the problem just began

happening,
with no changes to my setup having been made. Opened up a new

document
(chapter), and suddenly I'm getting four spaces between paragraphs.

In Format | Paragraph, make sure that the line spacing is set to

Single and
that there is no Space Before/After. If both are correct and

you're still
seeing larger-than-single spacing, make sure that the vertical

alignment
(Layout tab of Page Setup) is set to Top and not Justified.

I have been to Formatting in the Toolbar area. I am not able to

figure
out
how to have single spaces between lines in my Word document.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
