To change line spacing in a document file after it is typed:
•
Bring the document file to the screen
•
Move the cursor to the position where the new line spacing should start
(to change it for the entire file, make sure the cursor is at the beginning)
•
Press CTRL
&
4
•
Press the L key
•
Type the number for the new line spacing
(1
=
single, 2
=
double, etc.)
•
Reformat the entire file as follows:
Press CTRL
+
0 (zero)
Press CTRL & 6
(If the system stops for hyphenation, insert the hyphen and then press
CTRL
&
0 and CTRL
&
6 again).
After Changing Line Spacing
When you select a line spacing greater than one (single), the system will insert the
carrier returns between the lines of text.
If
you change the line spacing and then
reformat, the system will add or subtract carrier returns between lines to give you
the new line spacing.
It is im portant to remember that line spacing, like the Ruler Line, is not recorded in
your document file.
If
you change the line spacing in your files, it is a good idea to
always check the line spacing before you type or edit a document file.
You can change the line space setting back to single when you save a file by giving
the SA VE FILE and re-set
all
settings command. To do this, you press CTRL & 3
+
I.
This command changes all the format settings (such as the Ruler Line and Line
Spacing) back to the standard settings for the next file that you type. It does not
affect the formatting in the document file that is saved.
