1. How to Control the Vertical Space Between Lines of Text in a Document

The line spacing is a magic form control that lets you set the space between the lines of text in your document. You can control the vertical space between the lines of text by setting the line spacing. Click here, WPS office.

 You can also control the vertical space between paragraphs in your document by setting the spacing before or spacing after paragraphs. By default, you get one line spacing at 12 points and two line spaces at 12 points, but you can change this.

This is useful if you want to make it so that there are more words per line and less room between them:

Or, you can change it so that there are more words per paragraph (which is useful for longer documents with more text):

Or, if you want to make it so that there are more words per paragraph, but no room between them:

See [1], [2], and [3] for other ways to control the space between any number of lines of text.

How to Control the Vertical Space Between Paragraphs in a Document

In a document, some characters have vertical space between them; they are either in the middle of a line or at the end of one. 

You can control this spacing, so that the same character can be used on either side of the character. In this example, we use an apostrophe to indicate that there is vertical space between two characters.Text: 

How to Control the Vertical Space Between Paragraphs in a Document

When you move from one paragraph to another, vertical space must be adjusted. When you start a new paragraph and then end it with a period (“.”), spaces must be added between its first

character and the one that follows it. In this example, “1” was added to make room for “3” before the period ends. It is important that you don’t forget to add spaces before or after paragraphs. This will prevent your document from being too long; otherwise, it will look too cluttered and confusing.

Text: How to Control the Vertical Space Between Paragraphs in a Document

In Adobe applications such as Acrobat, there are two ways of controlling vertical spaces between paragraphs: 

The first way is called horizontal justification; the second way is called “outdent alignment” (the difference between the two is discussed on our blog How To Condense Your Documents). 

The first method controls how much space should be added between words; this means that if words are aligned horizontally (left-aligned) then more horizontal space will be added than if they are aligned vertically (right-aligned). 

If you align words by height rather than width then less space would be added than if words were aligned vertically. With no justification at all, all characters would be put together into one large block and left unattached to each other (which would mean it would not fit on your page). 

This could lead to problems when formatting your document because there would not always be enough horizontal space for paragraphs or any other grouping elements like bullets or headings. 

The second method provides an alternative method of setting up different kinds of alignment and also helps with aligning multiple parts of an unformatted text block together so they fit on your page better than single-paragraph blocks do. 

The advantage with this method is that it automatically retains all extra spaces you add during editing so that no extra blank space remains between adjacent blocks of text – great

3. How to Adjust the Spacing Before and After Paragraphs in a Document

For those who have ever worked with Microsoft Word, this might come as a surprise: the default setting for line spacing is the same as for paragraphs. And the default setting for paragraph spacing is the same as for text.

This is true regardless of what kind of document you are working on (but especially so). The Microsoft website will tell you that it has changed its default settings based on feedback from many users, and that it includes an option to change them if they don’t like them.

The reason they did this is that there are some people who have a hard time adjusting to the differences between line and paragraph spacing, but they can’t find a way to change it in Word. 

In fact, many people have found that changing it can be hard because there is no visual cue to help them recognize when the spacing between lines or paragraphs has changed. It’s not just about line and paragraph space; there is spacing before and after each paragraph too — but again, you don’t see any visual cues in Word unless you know how to look for them.

So here are some easy-to-follow steps to adjust your document's vertical space:

1) Open your document and go to View - Text Size . 

2) Choose Page Layout - Paragraph Spacing .

 3) In the dialog box that appears, take note of how far from either end of each line or from one end of each paragraph we want our lines or paragraphs spaced out .

 4) Click on one of those options and then click OK .

 5) If we're using Word 2013 , click Next > to choose our new settings

 6) If we're using Word 2010 , click on one of those options (maybe Track Changes).

 7) Click OK . We now have our new settings applied! 

8) If we're using Word 2007 , click Edit > Preferences > Text Settings > Paragraph Spacing . 

9) On the left side of this dialog box, go down toward the bottom until we find our old settings and click Edit Paragraph Spacing (or whatever was selected in Step 5 above). 

10) In this dialog box, take note of how far from either end of each line or from one end of each paragraph we want our lines or paragraphs spaced out . 

11) From there select Tools - Layout Style and make sure it says "Matched" for Horizontal Spacing , "Different" for Vertical Spacing , "Same" for Both Spacing Options

4. Conclusion

I wrote this post for the benefit of those who have been wondering about the specific kinds of changes that are possible in Microsoft Word, and why those changes are important to make.

So, you want to change the line spacing between two paragraphs? You can change the spacing after a paragraph. Or you can change the spacing before a paragraph. And thus change the number of lines between words in your document.
