Hi - I'm guessing this is going to be impossible but its worth a shot. I'm unemployed and doing my resume to apply for marketing positions. I need to have a great looking resume if at all possible. I can deal with what I have to work with but my life would be a lot easier if I knew how to decrease the amount of space between two lines.
Say for instance my name is Mary Beth Smith
I got it to where the tail of the y comes down a little further and ****I want to have my address and contact info on the right side of the tail and under Beth and Smith in one line
I am looking to see if there is any way that I can move it up to fit there.
Please help! Thanks!

Format - Paragraph - Indents & Spacing tab. Set Line spacing to Fixed and decrease the value until the spacing fits your requirements.

Not quite sure what you are trying to describe.
Take a look at the example doc - is this what you are talking about.

The line containing your address would have to overlap the line containing your name. I don't think that's possible without putting the address in a frame. Create a frame using Insert > Frame. On the Frame dialog, click the Wrap tab and select "Through". Close the Frame dialog, move the frame to place the address where you want it to be (the frame can cover part of the name), then right-click the frame and select Wrap > In Background.

I don't see a reasonable way to do it with pure text formatting, but you can do any kind of alignment you want if you put the address lines in a frame set to wrap "through" or "through in background".
It seems really odd to me, but as far as I can tell, OOo has no way to decrease the spacing between paragraphs to anything less than single-spacing. The paragraph's line spacing can be squeezed to below single-spaced, but that does not apply between separate paragraphs. And it's not allowed to have "negative spacing" above or below a paragraph.
That's a nasty limitation, if I haven't missed something obvious.
