Space between paragraphs of same style in Word 2007

Is there any way to once and for all, now and forever, uncheck that wretched
"Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style" box in Word 2007? I
NEVER want that box checked, but every time I open a new document, every time
I start a new style, that abominable box is checked again.

Did Bill Gates put this option in as the default just to torment me
personally? Or is 2007 just evil?

Thanks.

Use templates that contain styles defined the way that you want them. Then
use them now and forever.
