I cannot access the web page to which you refer. Regardless, our standards call 
for single spacing and this new line height has thrown off the pagination in 
all of our documents. How do I change it back to the way it was before the new 
release?

That's right. We have slightly changed the "line-height" attribute everywhere 
in recent versions of XMLmind DITA Converter to make the output files 
typographically more correct.

See for example "Vertical Rhythm In Typography" --

There is no easy way to revert to exactly what  did XFC v4.8.2 (other than 
downgrading to XFC v4.8.2 of course).

Please use our XSL customizer to set attribute "line-height" to "1.2".
The stock value of this attribute is "1.33".

Unfortunately, this attribute belong to many attribute sets with slightly 
different values (depending on the value of attribute "font-size"). You may 
start by modifying attribute "line-height" in the attribute set called 
"base-style" and see if this is sufficient.
