When working in editors, when formatting text, the question often arises, how to change the line spacing? In addition, there are strict line spacing requirements depending on the type of document you are creating.
Change line spacing
How to change line spacing and the spacing between paragraphs in Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint, the first of which is a text editor and the second is a program for creating slides and presentations? The principle of changing the line spacing in both programs is the same.
So, you typed the text, now your task is to format it. To change the line spacing, first select and highlight the section of text to which you want to apply the settings. If it's one specific paragraph, just hover over it (for Office 2007 and 2013).
Option 1. Open the "Menu" tab, move the cursor to the "Format" button, select the "Paragraph" item in the drop-down list, a dialog box will appear. Here, in the "Indents and spacing" tab, there is the "Line spacing" field, with a drop-down menu in which you can select the required type of spacing: single, one and a half, etc.
Option 2. Select the "Page Layout" tab, it already has a "Paragraph" field, click in the lower right corner of the field, the dialog box appears again. You can also enter the exact numerical value of the required spacing. Everything in the same window, in the "Intervals" section, is the "Value" field. Enter the required parameter in it.
Option 3. Find the button on the toolbar at the top of the working window, when you hover over which, a prompt "Change the spacing between lines" appears, click it, and in the drop-down list, adjust the setting. It should be borne in mind that when choosing the type of spacing "single", "double", the actual spacing between the lines will depend on the selected font size.
Change the spacing between paragraphs
If you need to change the spacing between paragraphs, then in the "Page layout" field, you need to find the "Line spacing" buttons, which look like an image of lines, on the left of which there are arrows pointing at each other and in different directions. With their help, the interval "Before" and "After" of the paragraph you specified is formed, enter the data either manually or using the scroll buttons.
