I'm interested, but puzzled. Surely that could not have been the 
solution if the problem was as described?

o Text Body paragraph style has Single spacing by default - though 
you (or someone else) could well have changed this to Double: no problem.

o But in any case, the two techniques you described as not working 
both apply local formatting, and applying local single spacing to 
paragraphs with double spacing in their paragraph style *will* 
overrule the style and change the spacing. So the techniques that you 
say failed you would have worked (even though not an ideal solution).

I'm delighted that you are happy, of course - but it would be nice to 
know what was *really* happening.
