Labels-single spacing - how to make default Word 2007

I've set my default template/document in Word 2007 to single space for all
new documents. However, this doesn't seem to hold true when trying to do a
mail merge with labels??!!?? I can't seem to find a way to change the
default label document - if there is such an animal.... I want all my
documents to be single spaced - labels, envelopes, letters etc. - I want it
to be the default (don't want to manually change each and every document I
create). If I choose to change to a different paragraph style, I will! I
don't want MS to choose for me.

Help!?!?!
Thanks.

Are you talking about line spacing or paragraph spacing. Possibly you have
the paragraph spacing in the Normal style set to have 12pts after it and
because the elements of the address are in separate paragraphs, they appear
to be double spaced.

You may also be using the addressblock which has each element of the address
in a separate paragraph. Instead of doing that, just insert the individual
merge fields into the label in the configuration that you want them,
separating each with a new line feed (Shift+Enter) rather than a carriage
return if you want to retain the space between paragraphs in your Normal
style.
