How to find out (and change) the current line spacing ?

[Goran Ivanic]

Assume I have got a Word (2003) text document.

Now I want to find out two things for e.g. line 132 on page 5:

1.) What is the current line spacing on this line? In other words how much space is
between the current line an the line just before ?
Or does the line spacing always refers to the line just below ???

2.) As far as I know there is another parameter which defines the space between characters
(inside a word). How is this parameter called ?
How can I find out the current value for this property?

How can I change the two settings described above in the whole document?

You should better post this in Microsoft Word NewsGroup.

1. Select the paragraph whom formatting you want to line. Click Format menu
and then click Style and Formatting. When the Styles and Formatting Task Pane
open, click below the "Formatting of selected text" drop down menu and click
"Reveal Formatting" or Press SHIFT+F1 to Reveal Formatting. Line spacing
refer two space between 2 lines and can be different for each paragraph and
lines.

2. The parameter is called "Character Spacing". You can find the used
Character Spacing in Reveal Formatting only if it is larger than normal.

3. You can change the Line Spacing by selecting the paragraph and then click
"Line Spacing" Standard Toolbar button or from Format menu - Paragraph or
keyboard shortcut like CTRL+2 for Double, Ctrl+1 for Single, and Ctrl+5 for
1-1/2. For Character Spacing, select the words and then click Format - Font -
click Character Spacing tab and change as you desire.

Hope this information helps you, let us know!

"I have a different problem..When I type anything, either I don't get spaces
between words typed or too many spaces. I have to go back and put space
between the text mannualy. How can I fix the settings for this? It is really
annoying!!!!

If you require a good answer then you should do this:
1. Start your own thread. Do not add your question to someone
else's question.
2. State the application you're using. Word? Excel? Something else?
3. State the version of that program.
4. Post in the correct newsgroup(s). Posting a Word question in
a Windows XP or in a document management group newsgroup
is a waste of time and effort.
