Why is there no difference in spacing when clicking between the "No Spacing
style button and Normal style button. MY text book shows a definite differece
in spacing between the 2 buttons???

Right-click each style button in turn and click the Modify button, and look
at the definitions (then click Cancel to close the dialog without changing
the style). In the out-of-the-box Normal.dotm template, you would see this:

- The Normal style has 1.15 line spacing within the paragraph and 10 points
space after the paragraph. This is the default for Word 2007.

- The No Spacing style has neither extra line spacing nor extra space after
(which was the default for Word 2003 and earlier).

Evidently your Normal.dotm template has been modified -- possibly by
selecting the Word 2003 style set in the Change Styles > Style Set gallery
and then making it the default style set.

Try selecting the Word 2007 style set. Does that make it match your text
book?
