Hi Steve. Pressing 'return' in Writer is not about inserting a newline, its about starting a new paragraph. Just Newline is 'shift-return' - since normally writer does all newlines dynamically the typical user needs a new paragraph far more often than a new line - writer is not a old-fashioned typewriter.
That said there are 2 solutions: 1. use shift-return 2. change the paragraph style so that no extra space is added: Format/Paragraph, then enter 0 at "Spacing above/below". I CCed it to your email address, since I do not know wether you subscribed to the mailing list - please be sure to answer to the mailing list, if you answer. klaus Am 03.03.2015 um 06:52 schrieb S F: [...] > Here's the thing: > It is very frustrating to simply type part of a line, then go to the next > line, and type part of a line without open office writer double spacing.
