No matter what I do, either on my iMac or my iPad, I cannot get Pages to create either numbered or bulleted lists that are single-spaced. Pages always puts a space between each item. Surely there must be a solution, but all the solutions I find on the internet do not seem to work. Can you help? I want something like the following:
iPad Pro (M5, 2025)
Bingo! I figure out the problem. I sat down on my iMac and started looking through the settings carefully and I discovered the setting “After paragraph,” which was set at 24. So I changed it to zero and found that when I hit Return I got the single space I wanted. So I’m now going back through my articles to make the appropriate changes.
Thanks for your help!

I see in the upper right of your screenshot that the paragraph style is "Default*". I can't reproduce that on my iPad, either on an existing document or a new document. Try to select the Body style.
BTW, are you using a specific template when you create a new document? I used the Blank template in my tests.
Have you looked at the spacing property in the Format toolbar? Here is an example where the same 3 lines show not increasing spacing with or without bullets:
As you can see, I have the formatting configured for single space for the first items. I then switched to double-space for the next three. What am I doing wrong?
How do I create single-space lists?
