Word 2007 line spacing problems

Word 2007 pre-defines a huge line space! This really started to annoy me, as my work seems to spaced out. To correct this issue and have the line spacing the same as previous Word follow the below steps:

1. Select the "Home" tab on the ribbon.
2. Under the paragraph section select the line spacing button (figure 1.1).
3. Select "Line Spacing options...".
4. Select the "Indents and Spacing" tab (default selected).
5. Under the "Spacing" heading select type "0pt" in for "After:" (figure 1.2).
6. Select "Ok" and your finished.
