I’m trying to get a document on a single page.

There is too much whitespace between the lines.

I attempt to reduce it with:

[Select all text] -> Format -> Paragraph -> Indents & Spacing -> Line Spacing: Multiple -> At: 0.7

However this has no effect. Is this a bug? Is there any way to fix it? It seems inconceivable that there might be no solution.

There is a function in word, which can reduce the number of pages. However it is not included in the ribbons. So you can go to «options», «change ribbons» and search for «reduce pages». (Sorry, I don’t know the correct english names, as I have a localized version.)

Decreasing line spacing below 1 means that lines overlap and part of the letters won’t be visible. You may try to decrease spacing above / below paragraphs and margins. and if that doesn’t help, then play around at character level: spacing, font size, font type.

Lesson 9: Line and Paragraph Spacing

/en/word/indents-and-tabs/content/

Introduction

As you design your document and make formatting decisions, you will need to consider line and paragraph spacing. You can increase spacing to improve readability and reduce it to fit more text on the page.

Optional: Download our practice document.

Watch the video below to learn how to adjust line and paragraph spacing in your document.

Line spacing

Line spacing is the space between each line in a paragraph. Word allows you to customize the line spacing to be single spaced (one line high), double spaced (two lines high), or any other amount you want. The default spacing in Word is 1.08 lines, which is slightly larger than single spaced.

In the images below, you can compare different types of line spacing. From left to right, these images show default line spacing, single spacing, and double spacing.

Line spacing is also known as leading (pronounced to rhyme with wedding).

To format line spacing:

Select the text you want to format.
On the Home tab, click the Line and Paragraph Spacing command, then select the desired line spacing.
The line spacing will change in the document.

Adjusting line spacing

Your line spacing options aren’t limited to the ones in the Line and Paragraph Spacing menu. To adjust spacing with more precision, select Line Spacing Options from the menu to access the Paragraph dialog box. You’ll then have a few additional options you can use to customize spacing.

Exactly: When you choose this option, the line spacing is measured in points, just like font size. For example, if you’re using 12-point text, you could use 15-point spacing.

At least: Like the the Exactly option, this lets you choose how many points of spacing you want. However, if you have different sizes of text on the same line, the spacing will expand to fit the larger text.
Multiple: This option lets you type the number of lines of spacing you want. For example, choosing Multiple and changing the spacing to 1.2 will make the text slightly more spread out than single-spaced text. If you want the lines to be closer together, you can choose a smaller value, like 0.9.

Paragraph spacing

Just as you can format spacing between lines in your document, you can adjust spacing before and after paragraphs. This is useful for separating paragraphs, headings, and subheadings.

To format paragraph spacing:

In our example, we’ll increase the space before each paragraph to separate them a bit more. This will make it a little easier to read.

Select the paragraph or paragraphs you want to format.
On the Home tab, click the Line and Paragraph Spacing command. Click Add Space Before Paragraph or Remove Space After Paragraph from the drop-down menu. In our example, we’ll select Add Space Before Paragraph.
The paragraph spacing will change in the document.

From the drop-down menu, you can also select Line Spacing Options to open the Paragraph dialog box. From here, you can control how much space there is before and after the paragraph.

You can use Word’s convenient Set as Default feature to save all of the formatting changes you’ve made and automatically apply them to new documents. To learn how to do this, read our article on Changing Your Default Settings in Word.

Challenge!

Open our practice document.
Select the the date and the address block. This starts with April 13, 2016, and ends with Trenton, NJ 08601.
Change the spacing before the paragraph to 12 pt and the spacing after the paragraph to 30 pt.
Select the body of the letter. This starts with I am exceedingly and ends with your consideration.
Change the line spacing to 1.15.
When you’re finished, your page should look like this:

There are several ways to adjust line spacing in Microsoft Word. Today’s tutorial explains the basic method using the ribbon and a more advanced method using the Paragraph dialog box.

See the Quick Tip at the bottom of this tutorial to learn how to single-space an entire document from the Paragraph dialog box.

This tutorial is available as a YouTube video showing all the steps in real time.

Watch more than 150 other document software tutorials on my YouTube channel.

The images below are from Word for Microsoft 365.The steps are the same in Word 2021, Word 2019, and Word 2016, and similar for Word 2013 and Word 2010. However, your interface may look slightly different in those older versions of the software.

Basic Method: Adjust Line Spacing from the Ribbon

Select the Home tab in the ribbon.

Figure 1. Home tab

(Optional Step) Select the Show/Hide button in the Paragraph group to show paragraph break symbols and other formatting that may affect line spacing.

Figure 2. Show/Hide button

Select the text with the line spacing that needs to be changed.

Figure 3. Selected text

Select the Line and Paragraph Spacing button in the Paragraph group.

Figure 4. Line and Paragraph Spacing button

Select an option from the drop-down menu:

A. Numbers 1.0 through 3.0 add space between lines.

B. Add Space Before Paragraph adds space before paragraphs but not before the lines within them.

C. Remove Space After Paragraph removes space after paragraphs but not after the lines within them.

These three options are based on your current font size with 1.0 being the equivalent of single-spacing.

Figure 5. Line and Paragraph Spacing menu

Your changes will be applied immediately.

Figure 6. Text with 2.0 spacing applied

Note that you can apply the individual line spacing (the numbers 1.0 through 3.0) and the paragraph spacing to the same text to further customize your results.

(Optional Step) Select the Show/Hide button again to hide paragraph symbols and other formatting (see figure 2).

Now, let’s move on to an advanced method offering additional spacing options.

Advanced Method: Adjust Line Spacing from the Paragraph Dialog Box

Select the Home tab in the ribbon (see figure 1).
(Optional Step) Select the Show/Hide button in the Paragraph group to show paragraph break symbols and other formatting that may affect line spacing (see figure 2).
Select the text with the line spacing that needs to be changed (see figure 3).

Pro Tip: PC users can press Ctrl + A to select the entire document if all the line spacing needs to be changed. However, this includes items you may not want to alter, including headings, tables, table titles, figure captions, tables of contents, footnotes, endnotes, and reference lists.

Select the dialog box launcher in the Paragraph group.

Figure 7. Paragraph group dialog box launcher

Make changes in the Spacing section of the Paragraph dialog box:

A. The Before and After boxes represent the spaces before and after paragraphs measured in points with one point being 1/72 of an inch tall. Use the increment arrows to choose a whole number or enter a number with a decimal (e.g., 2.75) directly into the box.

B. The Line spacing drop-down menu offers six options:

1. Single—Creates single-spacing based on your current font size.

2. 1.5 Lines—Creates a space and a half as large as your current font size.

3. Double—Creates double-spacing based on your current font size.

4. At Least—Determines the minimum amount of space between lines based on the number of points entered in the At box.

5. Exactly—Creates space between lines based on the number of points entered in the At box.

6. Multiple—Creates spacing multiplied by the number entered in the At box. For example, if you enter four in the At box, your spacing will be four times as large as your current single-spacing.

C. Don’t add space between paragraphs of the same style—For many users, this will remove spaces between all paragraphs because general documents commonly have only one paragraph style.

Figure 8. Spacing section

Note that the Preview box updates as you make adjustments in the Spacing section.

Select the OK button to close the Paragraph dialog box.

Figure 9. OK button

(Optional Step) Select the Show/Hide button again to hide paragraph symbols and other formatting (see figure 2).

Quick Tip: Single-Space an Entire Document from the Paragraph Dialog Box

Select the Home tab in the ribbon (see figure 1).
Select the entire document. (PC users can press Ctrl + A.)
Select the dialog box launcher in the Paragraph group (see figure 7).
Enter 0 in the Before box in the Paragraph dialog box (see figure 8).
Enter 0 in the After box in the Paragraph dialog box (see figure 8).
Select Single in the Line spacing drop-down menu (see figure 8).
Select the OK button (see figure 9).

There’s a simple Microsoft Word trick that lets you shrink the vertical space between lines. Specifically reducing to below single line spacing.

To set less than 1 line space go to Paragraph | Line Spacing and choose ‘Multiple’ – yes ‘Multiple’. Sounds screwy but it works.

Set the Multiple line spacing value to less than one eg 0.7

Try out various line spacing fractions until you get what you need.

There’s a catch. Reduce the line spacing too much and the letters will be cut off. Here’s an example with 0.5 line spacing.

We usually settle for something in the 0.7 to 0.8 range to get the lines close together without clipping.

Во время набора текста или при оформлении документа наряду с размером и типом шрифта важную роль играет межстрочный интервал в Ворде. От этого зависит удобочитаемость текста, междустрочный интервал относится к параметрам форматирования в Microsoft Word.

Расстояние между двумя строками, известное как междустрочный интервал в Ворде, влияет на визуальное восприятие текстовой информации. Например, если расстояние слишком маленькое, то такой текст будет затруднительно читать, а при большем интервале текст выглядит рассеянным, что также не способствует комфортному чтению.

Как изменить межстрочный интервал в Word (видео)

Междустрочный интервал определяет расстояние между строками в тексте документа Word. Интервал между строк текста впрямую зависит от размера используемого шрифта. Расстояние учитывается между базовыми линиями каждой строки, проходящими строго по центру букв (с учетом верхних и нижних их элементов).

Во многих случаях при наборе текста используется одинарный междустрочный интервал, который равен размеру шрифта текста. Часто используется и полуторный междустрочный интервал, который применяется при оформлении рефератов, курсовых и дипломов.

Наряду с другими вариантами, для увеличения пространства между стоками текста применяют двойной интервал. Благодаря этому удваивается пространство между строками документа, потому что вы добавляете полную строку пробела между каждой строкой текста.

Какой межстрочный интервал выбрать зависит от решаемых задач и предъявляемых требований к оформлению документа Word.

В этом руководстве вы найдете инструкции о том, как сделать междустрочный интервал в Ворде, и как настроить межстрочный интервал, используя пользовательские параметры.

Как сделать межстрочный интервал в Ворде — 1 способ

Вы можете быстро увеличить межстрочный интервал Word с помощью встроенных параметров текстового редактора. Этот способ можно применить в версиях программы MS Word 2021, MS Word 2019, MS Word 2016, MS Word 2013.

Пройдите последовательные шаги:

Откройте документ Word.
Войдите во вкладку «Конструктор» («Дизайн»).
В группе «Форматирование документа» найдите и щелкните по кнопке «Интервал между абзацами».

В выпадающем меню предлагаются следующие варианты:

По умолчанию — междустрочный интервал «1,08».
Отсутствует — междустрочный интервал «1».
Сжатый — междустрочный интервал «1».
Узкий — междустрочный интервал «1,15».
Неплотный — междустрочный интервал «1,15».
Свободный — междустрочный интервал «1,5».
Двойной — междустрочный интервал «2».

Перемещая курсор мыши между этими пунктами, вы можете визуально наблюдать за изменениями интервалов между строками текста.

Выберите один из подходящих вариантов. При выборе любого из предложенных параметров изменения применяются ко всему документу Word.

Вы можете создать свой собственный стиль междустрочного интервала. Для этого выберите пункт «Пользовательский интервал между абзацами…».

В окне «Управление стилями», после открытия вкладки «По умолчанию» настраивается изменение междустрочного интервала. Укажите подходящие значения в группе «Интервал». В параметрах стилей, помимо интервала между строками абзаца, имеется возможность изменить интервал до или после абзаца.

Как сделать междустрочный интервал в Word — 2 способ

В случае необходимости, вы можете задать пользовательский размер междустрочного интервала в документе Word.

Чтобы изменить междустрочный интервал Word, выполните следующие действия:

В окне открытого документа Word выделите нужные абзацы. Если вам необходимо применить изменения ко всему тексту, нажмите на клавиши «Ctrl» + «A» для его выделения.
Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши по выделенному фрагменту.
В контекстном меню выберите пункт «Абзац».

В окне «Абзац» на вкладке «Отступы и интервалы» находятся параметры междустрочного интервала. В группе «Интервал» в графе «междустрочный:» выберите нужный интервал:

Множитель — самостоятельная установка межстрочного интервала. Если вы не вносили изменений, в настройках отображается значение по умолчанию.

В версиях Word 2021-2013 по умолчанию используется интервал в 1,08 строки, что немного больше, чем при одинарном интервале. В версиях Word 2010-2007 по умолчанию используется значение «1,15».

Одинарный — размер интервала равен размеру текущего шрифта текста абзаца.
1,5 строки — интервал равен полуторному размеру шрифта текста абзаца.
Двойной — интервал равен двойному размеру шрифта текста абзаца.
Минимум — интервал не меньше заданного в пунктах настроек размера.
Точно — интервал точно соответствует заданному в пунктах размеру.

Нажмите на кнопку «ОК», чтобы изменения вступили в силу.

Интервалы «Одинарный», «1,5 строки» и «Двойной» зависят от высоты текущего шрифта. Если вы увеличите размер шрифта, то соответственно пропорционально увеличится и размер интервала между строками абзаца.

В интервалах «Минимум» и «Точно» устанавливается точное значение междустрочного интервала в «пунктах» (типографских пунктах). В случае увеличения или уменьшения высоты шрифта, межстрочный интервал не изменяется.

Как настроить междустрочный интервал в документе Microsoft Word — 3 способ

В открывшемся меню выбираем необходимый межстрочный интервал абзаца:

1,0;
1,15;
1,5;
2,0;
2,5;
3,0;

Здесь есть возможности для добавления интервала перед и после абзаца или можно выбрать другие варианты междустрочных интервалов. Затем вы можете применить выбранные настройки к текущему документу или к новым документам, использующим текущий шаблону.

В открытом окне текстового редактора Word установите указатель мыши в нужный абзац текста.
Используйте следующие сочетания клавиш клавиатуры, чтобы задать необходимые параметры:

«Ctrl» + «1» — одинарный интервал;

Thanks to this option, you can quickly turn two pages into one or improve the flow of your document.

Making precise adjustments to the spacing in Word

Word has a handy feature that allows you to change the line spacing. To do this, select the text you want to adjust and go to the Line and paragraph spacing button on the “Home” tab. In Word, line spacing is measured in multiples of 1. You can click to set the line spacing to the default value of 1.0, or you can enlarge it to 3.0.

You can change the line spacing in Word with just a few clicks.

Making precise adjustments to the spacing in Word

The default options that Word provides under the “Line and paragraph spacing” button are adequate for most situations. Sometimes, however, you’ll need to make more precise adjustments. To do this, click “Line Spacing Options…” A new box will appear. Along with indentation settings (the horizontal alignment of the text), you can also make fine adjustments to the line spacing: To do this, select the “Exactly” option from the drop-down menu. Now use the font size (pt) as the unit of measurement. This allows you to specify the spacing very precisely in relation to the font size.

Precisely adjusting the line spacing in Word

You can also fine-tune the line spacing.

Note

The changes you make always apply to selected paragraphs. Therefore, start by selecting the paragraph for which you want to change the line spacing. If no paragraph is selected, Word automatically selects the paragraph on which your cursor is placed.

Word also has a special feature for changing the spacing between paragraphs. To improve the appearance and clarity of the text, the line spacing after the last line of a paragraph should be larger than the spacing within the paragraph. This keeps the paragraph together from a purely visual standpoint. In Word, you can insert the spacing either before or after the paragraph—or both.

Once again, you can do this under “Line and paragraph spacing” in Word on the “Home” tab, where you have the option of inserting (and removing) additional spacing or using the “Line spacing options…” Then enter a font size to set the distance between paragraphs.

If you switch to the second tab in the options dialog box (“Line and Page Breaks”), you have additional pagination options:

Widow/orphan control: This function prevents a single line of a paragraph from appearing at the top or bottom of a page.
Keep with next: If you select this option, Word treats this paragraph and the next one as a single unit.
Keep lines together: This function ensures that the paragraph is not split between two pages and always appears as a complete unit on the next page.
Page break before: This function inserts a page break before the paragraph, meaning the paragraph is always at the top of the page.

You can choose further options to keep a paragraph together if a page break is inserted.

Tip

If you’ve configured settings for a paragraph and want to apply them to other paragraphs, you can use the Format Painter on the “Home” tab.
