Set Line Spacing

Line spacing controls the amount of vertical space between lines of text. The default setting is single-spaced text. Word offers a number of different options:

• Single – no extra space between lines of text.
• One and a Half – applies an extra half line between lines of text.
• Double – adds a full extra line between lines of text.

To change the line spacing:

• Select the block of text that you wish to change.
• In the toolbox, select the Formatting Palette and click on the Alignment and Spacing menu.
  
• In the line spacing section, you can click on the buttons to choose between single-, one-and-a-half-, and double-spacing your text.
