Modify Line Spacing
Line spacing is the vertical gap between lines of text in a paragraph. It is measured in lines or points. It can be
set to single spacing, 1.5 lines spacing, double spacing, etc.
The steps to modify the line spacing are as follows:
Step 1: Select the paragraph or the lines of text whose line spacing is to be modified.
Step 2: Select the Format menu from the Menu bar.
Step 3: Click on the Paragraph option from the drop-down menu. The Paragraph dialog box will open.
Step 4: Click on the Indent & Spacing tab of the Paragraph dialog box.
Step 5: Select the preferred line spacing. In our case, we have selected the 1.5 lines option.
Different options for line spacing are:
Ð Ð Single: It provides single line spacing according to the point size of the font. It is the default line
spacing that exists in a normal document.
Ð Ð 1.15 lines: It provides one and 15 percent extra spacing according to the point size of the font.
Ð Ð 1.5 lines: It provides one and half line size spacing according to the point size of the font.
Ð Ð Double: It provides double line spacing according to the point size of the font.
Ð Ð Proportional: It allows to enter a percentage value in the box for line spacing, where 100%
corresponds to a single line spacing.
Ð Ð At least: It sets the minimum spacing between the lines. This option is useful if there are fonts
and lines of different sizes in the paragraph.
Ð Ð Leading: It sets the height of the vertical space that is inserted between two lines.
Ð Ð Fixed: It sets the line spacing to exactly match the value that is entered in the box. This can result
in cropped characters.
Step 6: Click on the OK button. The line spacing of the paragraph will change.
