To switch from single to double spacing on a PC keyboard, you typically need to use the formatting options within the software you are using. In most word processing programs like Microsoft Word, you can find the line spacing option in the formatting toolbar where you can select double spacing. Alternatively, you can use keyboard shortcuts like "Ctrl + 2" to quickly change to double spacing.
On Microsoft Word, you use a 2.0 line spacing.
This depends on which software you are using for word processing. For Microsoft Word 2007, you would click the Home Tab, Paragraph group, Show Paragraph dialog box. When the dialog box opens, use the Line Spacing option to set the spacing to double (or whatever spacing you require.)

After the main title, it is common to use double line spacing. However, the specific line spacing may vary depending on the formatting guidelines provided by the relevant style guide or publication.
Within each source, use double spacing. Between each source, use a single space to separate them. This helps to maintain readability and organization within the document.
Highlight all the text you want to change. On the "ruler bar" above the text, click on *Right Indent*. (Hint: it looks like a small raindrop on the right side of the ruler bar.) Drag it to the left to shorten the line length or to the right to lengthen it. Hope this works for you!
In Word 2000-2003, use the Format>Paragraph command and use the Line spacing drop-down. "Exact" spacing will let you set leading in points, but beware inserting a picture in-line with your text, only a bottom sliver will display. If you use picture in-line, choose "Multiple" and set the number to something like 1.25. In Word 2007-2010, find the Paragraph group on the Home tab of the Ribbon. Click on the Line Spacing button and either choose one of the pre-set options or select Line Spacing Options to create custom leading.
Consistent line and paragraph spacing
Use the keyboard shortcut "Option(alt) + Command + M." Then change the line spacing to whatever you like. Ta-da!
That will depend on the specific style manual you are required to use. Some require a blank line after a paragraph. Others have no difference in spacing, just a single return. Find out what the standard is for what you are doing and follow it.
