Custom line spacing in a document

L

Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) I am trying to set my line spacing in my document to 1.15. I am writing a paper for school and this spacing is required. I seem to only be able to select 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 line spacing. How do I get 1.15?

Select the paragraphs, then go to Format>Paragraph and enter 1.15 in the
field labelled "At:". Note how the line spacing setting will
automatically switch from the previous setting to "Multiple".

Hmmm... You may want to ask your school for a more precise measurement.

"Line Height" is a multiplier: what you get as spacing depends on what the
line height is set to.

If you have a 12 point font and line height is set to "Single" then the line
height is 14 points, and a line spacing of 1.15 will give you 16.1, 8 points
before and eight points after.

If you have a 16 point font on the line, Word grows the line height to 18,
and a "line spacing" of 1.15 will end up as 21.16, 10.5 before and after.

Much better to explicitly set the space before and after on the Style using
Format>Style... So you know what you're going to get :)

Hope this helps
