Word lets you configure the amount of space between lines. For example, you can use single spaces or double spaces between lines. If you prefer more space between lines, you will likely want to implement double spacing.

You can configure double spacing for an entire Word document or for a specific section within a document. To configure double spaces in Word 2003:

1. Select the text that you want to change, or click Select All on the Edit menu (you can also press CTRL + A to select all text in a document).
2. On the Formatting toolbar, point to Line Spacing.
3. If the Formatting toolbar is not visible, on the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click Formatting.
4. Click the arrow next to Line Spacing, and then click 2.0.
