Changing paragraph spacing in a text block

You can change the spacing between lines of text in a text block.

To change paragraph spacing:

  1. Double-click within the text block and select the text you want to change.

  2. Either click the Paragraph Spacing graphic from the Paragraph group on the Home ribbon or right-click, and select Paragraph > Paragraph Spacing. The Paragraph Spacing window opens. Use the Paragraph Spacing window to specify the following spacing options for your text:

    Space Before Paragraph

    Specify a number in points to create space before the currently selected paragraph.

    Space After Paragraph

    Specify a number in points to create space after the currently selected paragraph.

    Line Spacing

    Select one of the following line spacing options:

    • Single
    • 1.25 Lines
    • 1.5 Lines
    • Double
    • At Least
    • Multiple

    If you select At Least, further specify the spacing number in points. The lines will be spaced at least the value specified and more if necessary.

    If you select Multiple, specify the new line spacing value in the field.

The paragraph spacing is changed.

You can copy the style properties of a text block and apply them to another text block. For details, see Copying and applying a text block's style to another text block.
