Computer Tip of the Week
Change the Default Line Spacing in Word
Microsoft Word has added a slightly roomier single spacing default setting at 1.15 spacing, which has many customers asking the
inevitable: why did the default line spacing change and how do I change it back?
The default line spacing changed in Word 2007 to make online documents more readable. If you want to change the default line
spacing within Word 2010, follow these easy steps:
- Click the Home tab.
- Click Change Stlyes in the Styles group, point to Style Set, and
then click the style set that you want to use.
To change the default formatting of your document, such as the line spacing and paragraph spacing, to the default
formatting that is used in earlier versions of Word, click Word 2003.
- To set the style set as the default style set in Word 2010, click Change Styles in the
Styles group, and then click Set as Default.
