How Do I Change Line Spacing in a Word Document in Vista?

The 2007 and 2010 versions of Microsoft Word for Windows Vista allow users to change line spacing in a Word document. According to the Microsoft Office website, the easiest way to adjust the line spacing of your document is by applying a Quick Style set. The Quick Style submenu options allow you to preview each style before applying it to your document. This will help you find the best line spacing for your needs.

Instructions

1. Open the document you want to change. Click the "Home" tab.

2. Select the "Styles" group, then click the "Change Styles" option. Some drop-down item options appear.

3. Highlight the "Style Set" option. A submenu appears displaying a list of various styles.

4. Move your mouse to hover over one of the style options in the list. As you hover over each style option, the Live Preview shows how your document will look with the highlighted style applied.

5. Click the name of the style when you find a spacing option you like. Word applies the new line spacing to your document.
