Tip To doublespace only part of the document, select the paragraphs you want to change, go to Home > Line and Paragraph Spacing, and choose Doublespace the entire document On the Home tab, in the Styles group, rightclick Normal, and then click Modify In text formatting, a double space means sentences contain a full blank line (the equivalent of the full height of a line of text) between the rows of words By default, most programs have single spacing enabled, which is a slight space between each line of text, similar to how this paragraph looks The spacing used to justify these lines from Bembo's 1495 work De Aetna is pretty irregular But the spaces between sentences are much bigger than a single word space, and they carry the brunt of the work of filling out the lines Other contemporary printed works — including those by Signore Manucci — use "normal" spacing
