The default Normal style in Word 2007 is 1.15-line spacing within paragraphs and
10 pt space after each paragraph. Microsoft thinks this looks more "modern" and
readable than the old formatting.

You can change the default, though:

In the Home ribbon, click the Change Styles button. Click Style Set, and choose
Word 2003 from the list that appears. Then click Change Styles again and choose
Set As Default.
