Page margins are the white space around the top, bottom, left, and right of your document. Margins let Word know where to start placing text at the top of a document, when to move on to the next page at the bottom, where to start typing text on the left side, and where to stop and move to the next line on the right. However, the line spacing when double spaced is simply bigger than that of previous Word versions. When I compare double spacing and # of lines to a page, this version of Word appears to have at least 3 fewer lines.
Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel Hello all, My problem concerns the line spacing of Word 2008. My paragraph spacing is set to 0 pt. That is not the problem.

This is a bit of a problem since I'm looking to submit my undergraduate honors thesis soon. CyberTaz 25/3/2009, 22:11 น. Although it provides the settings for the user to control line spacing Word doesn't vary it on its own from one version to another. 'Line Spacing', however, is a variable based on font size, so 'single' or 'double' for 12 pt type will be more than 'single' or 'double' would be for 10 pt & less than it would be for 14 pt.
Further, line spacing is built into the design of the font, so it's possible that single/double/etc. Could vary from one font to another even for the same font size. [The norm for single is 120% of the font size but that's what can vary at the discretion of the designer.] The question remains, though, is there a real difference in the number of lines/page or is it that it 'appears to have at least 3 fewer lines'? If there actually are fewer lines/page there are most likely some formatting issues that accounts for it but other factors come into play - it may have nothing to do with line or paragraph spacing.

Not to mention that 3 lines/page is a significant difference. [I.E., With 12 pt Times New Roman single spaced is 14.4 pts, so dbl would be 28.8 & in order to get 3 fewer lines/page I have to increase the line spacing nearly another 5 pts.] One possibility is the printer driver - make sure you have the most current update from the mfr's web site. Another possibility is variation if the font itself. If the document was created using one [older] version of a font the variation could actually be caused by variation in characters/line which causes the number of lines to be different. Variation may also be caused by font substitution. Bottom line is that if the number of lines/pg really is different it would require a more through analysis to determine the cause. Examine all aspects of the document formatting & layout including the Styles used in the doc.

Separately from CyberTaz's excellent suggestions: I note the comment > This is a bit of a problem since I'm looking to submit > my undergraduate honors thesis soon. That doesn't mean you have put hard page breaks on each page, does it? If you are formatting your thesis that way, make life much easier for yourself by getting rid of them and producing the document with 'minimum maintenance' formatting.
