How do I change line spacing between paragraphs

How do I change line spacing between paragraphs in PowerPoint 2007? This
used to be a very easy thing to do the older versions of PowerPoint. The
closest I've been able to find is to click the arrow in the lower-right
corner of the Paragraph format box, which allows me to change it in points,
which is extremely clumsy. The older version allowed me to specify it as
fractions of the line spacing. Is that feature gone?

Yes, it is very clumsy now. And yes, the before and after space can only be
input as points.

Don't shoot the messenger. I hate it, too. I think that in the quest to make
everything consistent between Office apps, Microsoft really screwed up some
stuff -- and this is definitely one of them. We got Word's paragraph dialog,
and it's just not appropriate for PowerPoint.

Please post a suggestion that this be changed. If enough people vote on that
suggestion, perhaps Microsoft will see fit to change it.
