Line spacing is a concept typical for a text program and means the distance between lines; as a rule, users are interested in questions related to text in Word. The most common programs are Word 2010 and Word 2003.
Instructions
Step 1
In Microsoft Word 2003 documents, the specified standard style includes the specified line spacing - 1, 0 (single). The same indicators are also between paragraphs - when the user separates the lines with the "Enter" (Enter). In Word 2007 and 2010, the spacing between lines is set in the size of 1, 15 and 10 points after each paragraph. As a rule, difficulties arise here due to the fact that such a design was absent in the previous version and did not require attention. Many people find it uncomfortable to work in versions 2007 and 2010 due to the banal habit of the previous interface and the old working conditions.
Step 2
Determine exactly what interval you want to set. There are such options for line spacing: - single (the largest font size in a given line); - one and a half (1, 5) - increases single line spacing by one and a half times; - double; - minimum - the minimum possible spacing; - exactly - provides the ability to set any fixed spacing, expressed in points - but not less than the specified one; - multiplier - provides an opportunity to set the line spacing, which can be expressed by numbers greater than one. For example, setting the number 4 will increase the interval by 400 percent.
Step 3
You can change the line spacing by choosing a preset style. In Word 2003, use the Styles and Formatting window to change styles. Open the required window using the "Formatting toolbar" button located on the toolbar. In later versions, find the dialog box in the Home panel to view and select the style you want. Select the appropriate one and click on it.
Step 4
You can also change the settings by highlighting the necessary paragraphs and setting the indicators you need manually. To do this, open the "Paragraph" window. You can find it on the "Home" panel (2007, 2010 version) or by choosing the "Format" command and then - "Paragraph" (earlier versions).
Step 5
The spacing before and after the paragraph changes in the same window. To change the parameters of the interval, there are windows - "before" and "after". Enter the required numbers or clear the data.
