Word has some common preset options for you to choose from. Remember that line and paragraph spacing are both applied at the paragraph level. Select all of the paragraphs you want to change or place your insertion point anywhere in a single paragraph you want to change. This opens a dropdown menu with presets for line spacing at the top and paragraph spacing at the bottom. The line spacing is shown in multiples. Select the multiple you want, and Word applies it to the selected paragraphs.
The paragraph spacing only lets you add or remove a preset spacing before the paragraph or after the paragraph. If you currently have no spacing before or after a paragraph, the menu shows commands for adding spacing in both locations as shown in the previous image. If you add a space in one location, that command changes to let you remove that spacing. So, you can only ever add or remove one level of preset spacing with the menu commands. And what are those presets?
These presets work well enough for simple changes to a few paragraphs. But what if you want to change the spacing on the whole document? As you hover your pointer over each preset, you can see the changes reflected in your document. You can also choose at the bottom whether to apply your changes only in the current document, or to all new documents based on the same template.
