Desperate for help! Outlook 2003 email spacing problem

Alright! So I have gone through all prior posts to find a solution but
nothing has worked! PLEASE help me!

I recently switched over to Outlook 2003 and my emails started appearing
double spaced on the receiving end, while they appeared perfectly single
spaced on my end.

I have tried the SHIFT+ENTER technique and that does work, however its a
nuisance to have to change the way I type emails. (I have temporarily done
that for my signature.)

I am composing messages in HTML format (I must include a corporate logo on
my emails). My Stationary Font is set to <None>, not <Blank>. I also have
this feature ticked off: "Use MS Word 2003 to edit email messages." (I don't
know if that matters).

My Paragraph Spacing is set to Single, with O pt. Before and After spacing.

Any help would be hugely appreciated. I just want my emails to appear like
I see them! I'm about to pull my hair out!!

Thanks,

Cristina

Use Plain Text instead of HTML format.

Outlook is a little brain dead when it comes to HTML... are you using
stationary? it sounds like the style is screwed up, can you change it to
normal, or paragraph, or something.

No and given what you said in your first post, I don't know why stodj
suggested it.

I'm not sure if I'm using stationary --- My new mail messages and my
replies/forwards are set to use a specific font (and this feature is under
Personal Stationary). I am not using any theme or background though.

I have gone to the font's Character Spacing and it is set to Normal. The
scale and position are not highlighted.

As for the style, when I'm in a new message, I can go to Format > Styles and
Formatting > Pick formatting to apply > Normal, but the message still double
spaces once I've changed Normal's font to Century Gothic. If I leave Normal's
font alone, it doesn't double space.

Ok, I just unticked "Use Microsoft Word to edit e-mail messages" and my
spacing is now appearing normal!! My signature's font is now appearing wrong
though!! Anyone know why or what I can do to fix it?

Thank you in advance for any help!!
