Please do not top post. I find it very confusing. You will find my
response at the bottom.

Hello! Thanks for your suggestion, but it didn't work. I always use my
non-printing characters, but it's not helping me to see what is wrong
with
my document. I tried right clicking on the paragraphs, but it still says
that my paragraphs are single spaced, when I know they're not. Now, my
60
page document is a 98 page document!

You haven't said whether or not you checked the paragraph spacing. I
suspect not from your answer. What I mean is you find the paragraph
style that is in your document in the Stylist, right click it to bring
up the context menu and the select Modify. On the Indents and Spacing
tab what do you have set? Try adjusting the various settings to get
what you want.

Yes, you were right. Thank you very much! I had to change the paragraph
style, but I didn't know where
to find it, so thank you for helping me find it!
Thanks!
