Double line spacing is a formatting technique commonly used in word processing to increase the amount of vertical space between lines of text. When applying double spacing, each line of text is followed by an additional blank line, creating a clear and legible appearance. This formatting style is often preferred in academic and professional documents such as essays, research papers, and manuscripts. Double spacing increases the space between the lines of text, making it easier to read, review, and annotate the document.
To double space in Microsoft Word, there are a few ways to do it. One way is to select the text that you want to double space, then go to the Home tab, click on the Line and Paragraph Spacing button, and select 2.0 from the drop-down list. Another way is to double-space the whole document by going to the Design tab, clicking on Paragraph Spacing, and choosing Double. There are also other spacing options (tight, compact, open, or relaxed) that you can choose from based on your preferences.
