Your first line is the problem.
I have merged two cells.................
Re-consider using merged cells.
You can group rows and cells using borders and you will be able to
change row heights and fonts for each line.
Or you could use textboxes.

I have merged two cells (vertically) and would like to change the "line
spacing" for text entry .. I would like the text lines in the merged cell
to be closer to each other.

I know I can change the row height, but can't see how to change the space
between the two rows when they are merged .. I would like the text in the
two lines to be closer together. I know I can change to a smaller font
size, but the line spacing is still too big for what I want.

Any help would be much appreciated.
