Default text when changing line spacing

Well, if it's a certificate, I imagine he wants large type, and I can
understand the issue, as often the default line spacing is much too "spacey"
at large point sizes.

Or keep the line spacing but use a smaller font size?

Ah, I understand the problem. Perhaps you can achieve the

positioning of
text using Space Before/After instead of Exact line spacing?

Believe me, I am grateful that it prints well....but unfortunately

I'm not
the only one who uses this template. I've placed in the space

what
exactly
is supposed to be typed there. If you can't see the instructions

because
it
only shows half of the text....then what's really the point of

having the
template....

but I will try updating the driver when I get back to work.

Thank you all so very much for your time and responses

why
"dac"
would prefer the screen display to be accurate (at least in

Print
Preview),
but, as you point out, often it is not. I'd have to say "dac"

should
just be
grateful that it prints as desired and resign him/herself to the

inaccurate
screen display.

If you had to make line spacing very small (say Multiple set

to value
less than 1 or Exactly set to less than the font size), it is

normal
for text to be cut off on the screen. Usually, it still prints

OK,
though.

Hello

I'm making a templatein Word for a certificate that I

regularily
use, but
I just need to change names and dates. There's probably an

easier
way to
make this, but what I have done is changed the line spacing

in some
areas so
that the text appears directly on the line. When I print

the
document onto
the certificate, it looks great. Unfortunately when you

look at the
document
on the screen, the words are cut off. Is there a way to

show the
words
without moving any of my lines?!
