Line Spacing
        Line spacing is the vertical gap between different lines of text in a paragraph. It is measured in lines or in points. It can
        be set to single spacing, 1.5 lines spacing, double spacing, etc. To modify line spacing:

        Step 1:  Select the paragraph or the lines of text.
        Step 2:  Click on the Indent & Spacing tab of the Paragraph option from the Format menu.
        Step 3:  Select the preferred line spacing.


































        Different options of Line spacing are:
        •   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.
        •  1.5 lines: It provides one and a half line size spacing according to the point size of the font.

        •  Double: It provides double line spacing according to the point size of the font.
        •   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.
        •   Proportional: It allows to enter a percentage value in the box for line spacing, where 100% corresponds to a single
          line spacing.

        •  Leading: It sets the height of the vertical space that is inserted between two lines.
        •   Fixed: It sets the line spacing to exactly match the value that is entered in the box. This can result in cropped
          characters.
        Step 4:  After selecting any of these options, click on the OK button.
