How to stop word from adding carriage returns?

I use an application that launches Word to to transcriptions. The application
uses stored templates. When creating a template it gets saved with a hard
carrige return after every line even if one was not inserted.

It is your application that is doing this. If the transcript has already
been typed in a different application, your application is making sure that
the lines and pages stay the same by putting returns at the end of every
line. If you take them out, I would guess that you will get differences
between the printed transcript and what you have in Word.

You may want to take a look at

similar problems.
