Adjusting the Space between Lines in Word

You can change the spacing between lines in a Word document. To do so, select the lines whose spacing you want to change, or simply put the cursor in a paragraph if you're changing the line spacing in a single paragraph. (If you're just starting a new document, you're ready to go.) Then, click the down-arrow beside the Line Spacing button and choose an option on the drop-down list: At Least, Exactly, or Multiple.

To quickly single-space text, select the text or paragraph(s), and press Ctrl+1. To quickly double-space text, select the text and press Ctrl+2. Press Ctrl+5 to put one and a half lines between lines of text.
