How do you change the spacing between lines in Word 2003?

Question

Right now when I click enter it puts the cursor on the line after the next instead of the next line. How do I correct this so that it puts it on the next line?

Answer 1

This is because that paragraph style has some After paragraph spacing attached to it. Try this:



1. Click in an affected paragraph.

2. Click on the Format->Styles and Formatting menu item.

3. In the bottom part of the sidebar that pops up, the style for your paragraph should have a bold box around it.

4. Hover the cursor over the style. A listbox arrow should appear. Click it.

5. Select Modify from the list box.

6. Click the Format button and select Paragraph.

7. Make sure the value in the After combination box is zero (0).

8. OK out of everything.



All paragraphs in the document with that style should adjust themselves.



Now, if you want to carry this one step further and fix the style on the template your document is based on (probably Normal.dot, but not necessarily), do this:



1. Click the Tools->Organizer menu item.

2. In the left-hand list box, find and click on the style you changed.

3. Click the Copy button between the two list boxes.

4. Click OK.



When you close your document, you may see a warning message asking if you want to save the changes to Normal.dot. This is an anti-virus measure, intended to alert you that something has changed in Normal.dot. In this case, you made the change, so you want to accept it.



That should do it.

Use a style set to change line spacing for an entire document



1. On the Home tab, in the Styles group, click Change Styles..



2. Point to Style Set, and point to the various style sets. Using the live preview, notice how the line spacing changes from one style set to the next.



For example, the Traditional and Word 2003 style sets use single-spacing. The Manuscript style set uses double spacing.



3. When you see spacing that you like, click the name of the style set.

3. Do one of the following:

* Click the number of line spaces that you want.



For example, click 2.0, to double-space the selected paragraph. Click 1.0 to single-space with the spacing that is used in earlier versions of Word. Click 1.15 to single-space with the spacing that is used in Word 2007.



* Click Line Spacing Options, and then select the options that you want under Spacing. See the following list of available options for more information.



Line spacing options



Single This option accommodates the largest font (font: A graphic design applied to all numerals, symbols, and alphabetic characters. Also called type or typeface. Arial and Courier New are examples of fonts. Fonts usually come in different sizes, such as 10 point, and various styles, such as bold.) in that line, plus a small amount of extra space. The amount of extra space varies depending on the font that is used.



1.5 lines This option is one-and-one-half times that of single line spacing.



Double This option is twice that of single line spacing.



At least This option sets the minimum line spacing that is needed to fit the largest font or graphic on the line.



Exactly This option sets fixed line spacing, expressed in points. For example, if the text is in a 10-point font, you can specify 12 points as the line spacing.



Multiple This option sets line spacing that can be expressed in numbers greater than 1. For example, setting line spacing to 1.15 will increase the space by 15 percent, and setting line spacing to 3 increases the space by 300 percent (triple spacing).



Note If a line contains a large text character, graphic, or formula, Word increases the spacing for that line. To space all lines evenly within a paragraph, use exact spacing and specify an amount of space that is large enough to fit the largest character or graphic in the line. If items appear cut off, increase the amount of spacing.
