Learn how to adjust sentence, word, and paragraph spacing automatically while pasting in Word using in-built setting, GPEDIT, and REGEDIT.

No matter what line of work you're in, knowing how to change the leading, or line spacing, of documents in Microsoft Word can be quite useful.

Older versions of Word buried line-spacing settings inside formatting menus, but in Word 2007 and 2010, they're hiding in plain sight.

The easiest way to adjust line spacing in Word is to mouse-select the target text (or press CTRL+A to select ALL text) followed by pressing CTRL while simultaneously pressing 1 or 2 or 5.

You can double space in Word for an entire document or selected paragraphs to increase the amount of space between your lines of text.
