How to Add and Remove Line Spacing on MS Word
Microsoft Office 2007 introduced a completely new navigation system for all the functions. Although Word 2007 includes all the functions of earlier versions and more, finding them may seem like a daunting task if you've never used it before. Many of the most commonly used functions, such as line spacing, can be found in the "Home" tab, shown by default when you open the program. Finding them may sometimes be difficult since the icons aren't labeled.
