[Solved] Different Line Spacing values

Post by TomDo »

Hi,
Other than the "Single, 1.5, and Double" values for line spacing can I put a 1.2 for spacing and if I could where?

And if that is all I have for line spacing could I put in a recommendation to have a feature that will allow different values for line spacing.

Tom

You can put any reasonable value in the Line Spacing box in the Indents and Spacing tab of /Format /Paragraph, having selected Proportional from the dropdown. I usually use 115% for novel length text, but this really depends on the font in use (an aesthethic choice), as some fonts come with extra white space below. If you wanted 1.2 (as you state) try 120%.
