Double spacing refers to the amount of space between the individual lines of text in a document. It is a formatting option that can be applied to a whole document or to specific parts of it. Double spacing makes the text easier to read and allows for more space for annotations or comments.
To double space a whole document in Microsoft Word, you can go to the Design tab, click on Paragraph Spacing, and choose Double. Alternatively, you can go to the Home tab, click on Line and Paragraph Spacing, and choose 2.0.
If you want to double space only part of a document, you can select the paragraphs you want to change, go to Home > Line and Paragraph Spacing, and choose 2.0.
Double spacing can also be used in other programs that allow for custom spacing, including text editors. For example, when a teacher wants an essay double spaced, youll need to adjust your spacing settings, so the text in the essay is double spaced.
In Microsoft Word, 1.0 spacing is called single spacing, 1.5 is called one and a half spacing, and 2.0 is called double spacing.
