When composing a New email under Outlook 2007 the line spacing between sentences is too large, as shown in the screenshot below. Can this spacing be changed?

I have checked the paragraph line space settings (single) and the style (Normal). I have tried HTML and Rich Text formats.

When replying to emails the line spacing between sentences is fine.

In Outlook check the following settings:

Tools -> Options, open "Mail Format" tab and click "Stationary and Fonts". In the New Mail Messages section click the "Font" button and in the new windows click "Character Spacing". Check your settings there.

Hope it helps you.

Kind regards

Thanks for your help. Character Spacing refers to the spaces between characters, not lines/sentences. 

Then please do the following:

Open a new message, choose "Format Text", click in the "Paragraph" section in the ribbon on a small symbol in the lower right corner to open a dialog box....

Thanks - clicking the Default button worked. The "After" spacing setting was set to Auto. It is now 0pt.
