No need to reply. I got it. Just being stupid. The before and after did
it. Thanks.

Re: Word 2007 H&S changing the default line spacing
this works too:
open a new doc, click page layout tab, set the 'after' spacing from 10 to 0,
then directly under that where it says 'paragraph' there is a little button
to the right that opens the paragraph dialog box. when that opens there is a
'Default...' button. click that and it asks if you want to save these
settings as the default for 'Normal' layout. click yes. close word and go
back in, it will always default to single spaced.

Re: Word 2007 H&S changing the default line spacing
Assuming that I remember correctly, updating the template was part of the
OP's problem, which is why it was suggested that he should open the Normal
template directly. (The underlying issue in such cases might be a poorly
designed add-in preventing Word from saving to the Normal template.) Under
normal circumstances, though, what you are suggesting should be working.
