Changing line spacing in a Word document

Before computers, changing line spacing meant rewriting the document. The introduction of computers eliminated the rewriting process, but spacing was still a headache at times. Word offers a simple solution to spacing problems. Simply select the text you want to make spacing changes to and press CTRL-1 for single-spacing, CTRL-5 for line and a half spacing, or CTRL-2 for double-spacing.
