How to Add and Remove Line Spacing on MS Word

1. Open Microsoft Word using the "Start" menu or a Desktop shortcut. Open the document where you want to alter the line spacing.
2. Select the text where you want to alter the line spacing using the mouse. To change the spacing for the document, press the "Ctrl" and "A" keys to select the entire document.
3. Find the "Paragraph" section in the Home tab. The line spacing icon is in the middle of the second row. It looks like several lines with an up and a down arrow on the right side.
4. Click the icon to display its menu. Select the spacing you want to use. The single, 1.5 and double options match earlier version of Word. The "At least" option sets the spacing for the minimum required to fit the font, the "Exactly" option lets you specify a point size and the "Multiple" option works with percentages.
