How to Change Line Spacing in Word 2007

Microsoft Office 2007

The default line spacing in Word 2007 is 1.15 spacing with 10 pt. space between paragraphs. In previous versions of Word, the default line spacing was single space, with no spacing between paragraphs. Fortunately, Word 2007 includes tools to easily change the line spacing as needed. Change it back to the line spacing used in previous versions of Word, or to another setting entirely if your document requires specific settings.
