Double Spacing in Outlook 2003 [MS Word as Editor]

I'm using Outlook 2003, with MS Word as my email Editor. All new emails that
I create are automatically defaulting to double spacing. When I go:

Format/paragraph/indents and spacing the options there are telling me that
its 0pt before and after and its on single spacing - but it obviously not!
I've tried switching it to plain text and the problem remains. Its not a
spacing between paragraphs issue as it appears without hitting return,
although I did try shift+enter but it still comes back with double spacing.

If I switch it back to not using Word as my email editor the problem
disappears, but when I open word its not having this problem within there -
only from Outlook.

I don't use any signitures, and neither am I using any stationary. The email
opens with the Style on normal - same as Word application itself.

I'm pretty good with word, and what I can't solve myself I can usually find
on the net somewhere, but this has me scratching my head...and it hurts. I've
seen a fair few posts but no one seems to be able to solve it.
 
Just to update the thread, I have resolved this issue - after opening a new
email window I went to File>Page Setup and clicked on Default - restoring all
default settings. Although when I went back in to check what changed I could
not see anything, it did fix the issue completely.
 
Note that while "Default" may work this way in Outlook, you should not
expect it to be the same in Word. In Word, if you click Default... in a
dialog (including Page Setup), you are saving the current settings as the
defaults, not restoring the factory default settings.
