Microsoft Office Word 2007 introduces a newly designed default template for creating documents.

You might experience any of the following line spacing issues:

Increased spacing between paragraphs.
More space than expected between lines in a paragraph.
Unexpected spacing on a page.

1. Open the document that you want to look like a Word 2003 document.
2. On the Home tab, in the Styles group, click Change Styles.
3. Point to Style Set, and click Word 2003.
4. On the Home tab, in the Styles group, click Change Styles.
5. Point to Fonts and under Built-in, click Office Classic.
6. If you want to create all documents with the Word 2003 style set and fonts, in the Styles group, click Change Styles, and then click Set as Default.

All future documents will open with the Word 2003 default style set and fonts.

 Note   If you want to use the updated Word 2007 formatting, switch to the Word 2007 style set and the Office font set. You can switch back to your custom default settings later by clicking Reset to Quick Styles from Template (in the Styles group, click Change Styles, point to Style Sets, and then click Reset to Quick Styles from Template).
