Setting Line-Spacing for the Report
Not only is establishing the amount of "white space" on a page an
important layout decision, the report format requires certain line
spacing. This is useful for limiting the amount of information
that may be put onto a single page as well as helping to emphasize
section headings.
To insert spaces within text, simply:
1) Select all relevant text, such as a heading or paragraph.
2) Right-click and select Paragraph, or press Alt-O then P (see Figure
1).
Figure 1. Right-Click menu.
3) Click the drag-down box under the label "line spacing" and
select the desired spacing. Paragraphs are typically
double-spaced, though headings may require triple or quadruple-spacing.
If you need more than double-spacing, select "Multiple" and then
enter the appropriate value into the box under the heading "At." (see
Figure 2.)
