If you feel that your text is cramped up, and want to space it out, or if you just want to make your text stand out, double spacing your text will help you do just that.

Word allows you to add extra spaces between paragraphs and lines. You
can do so by simply following the steps given below.

o Select the portion of the document that you want double-spaced.

NOTE: To select the entire document, choose "Select All" from the "Edit" menu or press the key combination [Ctrl] + [A].



o Choose "Paragraph" from the "Format" menu.

o Click the "Indents and Spacing" tab, then select a line spacing setting from the "Spacing" list.

o Click "OK".

NOTE: You can change both the leading and trailing spaces as well as the space between the lines of the required paragraph.
