We’re still working in module 4 which is the Paragraph Formatting module and we’re now on section 2 where I want to discuss line spacing options with you. There’s going to be times when you want to have more or less space between the lines. So let’s go ahead and talk about how that works.

One of the things that we’ve already noticed is that when we start typing in a blank document the spacing is not exactly single space. Let me go ahead and put a few things in here. Let’s go ahead and put in Draft Report. And I want you to notice that when I hit the Enter key it looks like it’s double spacing. Now the reason that they’ve done this with Word 2007 and higher is because in the older versions what most people would do is they would hit the Enter key twice to get that extra space in there. And now you don’t have to do that. They kind of built that in for you. You’ll notice that when you have line spacing it’s going to be set at 1.15. Now here’s how we know what it’s currently set at.

When I go to the Home tab here’s the Line Spacing option right here. It’s usually set on 1.15. you’ll see a checkbox to the left of whatever setting it’s currently on. Also notice because it says Remove Space After that’s how you know there is extra space when you hit the Enter key there. So those two options are set automatically when you start typing in a new blank document.

Now I want to flip over to our Burke Flyer we’ve been working with. So let me go back to the View tab and I’ll go back to Switch Windows, Burke Flyer. Let’s check out this document. So if I’m clicked anywhere in a paragraph and I go back to Home the line spacing now is set at single spacing. And notice there is no space after the Enter key. These are your different choices. When it says 1.15 that’s actually a 15% increase. So it’s not 1.5. It’s just an extra 15% greater than single spacing. That actually makes it a little bit easier to read.

You’ll notice that if you’re clicked in a paragraph then whatever you do will affect that one paragraph only. See that? If I have the whole document selected then whatever I do is going to affect the whole document.

So here’s 1.15. It makes it a little bit easier to read. 2.0 will be great if you needed to put some notes in between, especially if you’re going to have handouts for your audience. And you can see it just gets a little bit more spacing as you go down.

You have this option called Line Spacing here I’d like to look at and a couple of things in here. First of all under General here’s your alignment where you have your left, centered, right, and justify just like we had up here. Also if you’re working with outlines you can work with whichever level you happen to be working on. We’re going to be talking about indenting in the next section. So let’s look down here at Spacing.
