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 – single spaces the block of text.
• One and a Half – applies an extra half space between lines of text.
• Double – adds an extra line between lines of text.
• Exactly – sets spacing between lines at the value that you specify.
• At least – sets the spacing to at least the value that you specify; Word increases the spacing if needed.
• Multiple – sets spacing by the factor that you enter.

To change the line spacing:

1. Select the block of text that you want to change.
2. Go to the Home Tab.
   
3. See the Paragraph Group.
   
4. Click on the Line Spacing icon.
