Welllll, actually it isn't returning two lines:-) It's inserting Space After
- 10 points to be exact - as a paragraph formatting attribute. It doesn't
happen on Shift+Return because that keystroke creates a line break *not* a
paragraph break. Technically speaking, Space Before & Space After is the
preferred way to adjust spacing between paragraphs rather than banging on
the return key a second time - it's just that MS finally decided it was
about time to implement it as the default... Unfortunately they didn't see
fit to provide any outfight, obvious notification of what's going on:-)
You can change it on a per-paragraph basis by simply selecting the
paragraphs involved then going to Format> Paragraph> Indents & Spacing to
set the Spacing After to 0 (or whatever you prefer). If you want to make a
"permanent" change you'll have to modify the Normal paragraph style to
adjust the Spacing After it's currently set to, choose the option Add to
Template before clicking OK.
FWIW, I highly recommend that you try to get used to the current default -
you'll have far more control over the flow of your docs & learning to format
by using Styles will also provide you with better, more consistent, more
stable results overall. Post back with any questions that arise.
As to the second issue - My guess is that you're running Leopard (10.5.2)
which most likely is why the performance issue has arisen. As yet there is
no cure but it is hoped that the forthcoming Office update (expected March
11) will rectify the situation.

In Office 2008 Word, when I hit the return bar, it returns two lines. Yes, I
can hold shift and only go down one line, but how do I make return by default
go down only one line?
Finally, is MBU working on the speed of Office 2008? It seems unfinished. My
2.4 GHZ iMac with 3 GB of memory runs the PowerPC Office 2004 substantially
quicker than the new version which is universal binary.
