how can i stop new paragraph when hitting enter?

[rockwoodlabs]

When typing a letter at it automatically skipping a line when I hit enter.
How do I eliminate this from happening?

The most obvious answer would be to stop hitting enter. Word is a Word
processor and not a typewriter.

See:

for some introductory tips for using Word.

Remove the Space Before/After from the paragraph in the Format | Paragraph
dialog.

I don't think I'm making myself clear.

I want to close a letter with:
name
address
phone

it's typing
name

street address

city, state and zip

phone #

I can't eliminate the spaces between the lines and not hitting the enter
button won't work!

Did you look at that link I provided to you? Suzanne Barnhill suggested
that you remove paragraph before/after spacing. Did you do that?

If you want to start a new line without creating a new paragraph (that is
what hitting enter does) then press Shift+Enter.

You might also check to see that your line spacing isn't set to something
other than Single (Format>Paragraph - Indents & Spacing - Line Spacing).

Try selecting the lines you want to change (the ones that look double spaced)

Format > Styles and Formatting... (select Normal)

See if that fixes your problem...
