Thanks for the response. This seems to be a paragraph problem as simply
typing line to line, the second line is one space down as should it be.
Paragraph is set to: Indent = left 0, right 0; spacing = before 0pt, after
0pt; special = (none); line spacing = single. When view is normal, paragraph
spacing is one line as it should be. However, when view is print layout, a
great space appears between paragraphs with no editing symbol at all between
paragraph symbol. Something automatic in Word creats this gap in every new
document I create. Previously created documents open fine without this
paragraph spacing. What could it be?

On the Layout tab of Page Setup, change the vertical alignment from
Justified to Top.

For the top justification problem, you have to do the same fix in the Normal.dot
template (or Normal.dotm if you have Word 2007). After changing the setting in
the Page Setup dialog, click the Default button at the bottom of the dialog to
change the Normal template.
To remove the grid, if you have Word 2003 or earlier, display the Drawing
toolbar. Click the Draw button at the left end, click Grid, and uncheck the
"Display gridlines on screen" option. If you have Word 2007, click the View tab
of the ribbon and uncheck the Gridlines box in the Show/Hide group.
