    I am working on a new document in Word, but it is putting in a extra space between paragraphs. Is there a way to turn this off?

    Answer:
    To remove the extra spacing between paragraphs in Word:
    1. Go to the Home tab on the ribbon
    2. Find the Paragraph section
    3. Click the little "more" arrow in the lower right corner of the box
    4. Check off the Don't add space between paragraphs of the same style option
    5. This removes the extra spacing
