How do you double space on Microsoft Word?

Answer 1

To double space in Wordpad, do the following:

1) Highlight (select) all of your text. You can do this quickly by pressing CTRL+A

2) Press CTRL+2

This will double space all the text you have already written.

Otherwise, you will need to press CTRL+2 after every line.

I am not aware of any way to automatically double-spacing as you go along.

Answer 2

highlight what you want to double space, then right click on it. on the drop down menu, click on 'paragraph', and then go to the third section down, which should be called 'spacing'. where it says line spacing: and the drop down menu says 'multiple', change the 'multiple' to 'double' and click OK.

Answer 3

Line spacing is the amount of space between two lines of text within a paragraph. A quick way is to press Ctrl - 2. There are also longer methods.

Step 1- Click at any point inside the paragraph OR select the paragraph.

Step 2- Go the Home tab(2nd from left in the ribbon), under options group 'Paragraph', locate the line spacing button and click it.

step 3- from the drop down menu that appears select option 2.0 spacing.

in line spacing options menu you can also set a default line spacing that will apply to all paragraphs.
