• Proportional: It allows to enter a percentage value in the box for line spacing, where 100% corresponds to
a single line spacing.
• At least: It sets minimum spacing between the lines. This option is useful if there are fonts and lines of
different sizes in the paragraph.
• Leading: It sets the height of the vertical space that is inserted between two lines.

characters.
