Thumbs up Answer: Exactly 24 vs. Double Space

Sure, I'd be happy to explain the difference between exactly 24 and double spacing in Microsoft Word.

Exactly 24 spacing means that there is a fixed amount of space between each line of text, regardless of the size of the text or the spacing settings. This is often used in legal documents or other formal documents where the formatting needs to be very precise. In Microsoft Word, you can set exactly 24 spacing by following these steps:
  1. Go to the Home tab
  2. Click on the Line and Paragraph Spacing button
  3. Select "Exactly" from the drop-down menu
  4. Enter "24" in the box next to it.

Double spacing, on the other hand, means that there is twice the amount of space between each line of text compared to single spacing. This is a more common spacing setting used in everyday documents, such as essays or reports. In Microsoft Word, you can set double spacing by following these steps:
  1. Go to the Home tab
  2. Click on the Line and Paragraph Spacing button
  3. Select "2.0" from the drop-down menu.

So, the main difference between exactly 24 and double spacing is the amount of space between each line of text. Exactly 24 is a fixed amount, while double spacing is a relative amount that depends on the size of the text and the spacing settings. It's important to use the appropriate spacing setting for the type of document you're creating and any formatting requirements that may be in place.
