How do I get .5 line spacing?
When you start typing your list, click into the Format Paragraph and
adjust the line spacing to Multiple and .5 (However I think you really want 1.5" so that you are not typing your list with the text overlapping each line. In Word 2003 and earlier, select the Format menu and select Paragraph. In Word 2007 locate the Paragraph Group on the Home Tab. Click the dialog launcher (Little square to the right of the word "Paragraph"). Let us know if you need more help. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.

How do I get .5 line spacing?
You can select any spacing you want if you choose Multiple. Enter .5 in the
box. But you'll probably find that your text is truncated. You may want to reduce the font size and then reduce spacing somewhat less. -- Suzanne S.

How do I get .5 line spacing?
No, it won't. The spacing is based on the font size. If you use half-line
spacing, it's very likely going to truncate at least a quarter of the letter height. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "CIMCHUCK" wrote in message ...

How do I get .5 line spacing?
How do I get word to allow overlapping fonts instead of truncating?
Sometimes microsoft products are so eager to help, they force me to accept norms that I need to have options for instead. I used to fight word and excel constantly to keep words from being capitalized, for example. (I know how to turn that off.) "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: No, it won't.

How do I get .5 line spacing?
Hi Suzanne,
I am looking for a way to be able to type above an existing line, for example in a rental agreement I would type a tenant's name above the line. I tried what you suggested below but the name showed as half the size. Thanks, Liz "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You can select any spacing you want if you choose Multiple. Enter .5 in the box.

How do I get .5 line spacing?
If you are setting up a form, see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfms/LinesInForms.htm. The article focuses on how to "draw lines" in Word which is probably what you need. (Note that the article also also links to articles on protected forms, but from your description you don't need that.) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Lizard" wrote in message ...

This isn't working....I want single space and it will not change even when I
select 1 and save it to default.

How do I get .5 line spacing?
I have windows 7 and I need .5 line spacing and going to the box on the right
under paragraph did not allow me to change the lines spaces, it just made the lines 1/2 of what they should be. Help! "CIMCHUCK" wrote: I WANT TO USE 1/2, OR .5 LINE SPACING FOR LIST TO FIT POCKET CALLENDAR. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. |

How do I get .5 line spacing?
Well, 0.5 line spacing would make lines 1/2 of what they should be. Perhaps
what you want is 1.5 line spacing? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "kay-t" wrote in message ...

How do I get .5 line spacing?
If you are trying to get more lines per inch (or other measurement), then you
must change the point size of the type. If you normally use 12 point Times New Roman, single spaced with no space before or after, which gives roughly 5 lines per inch, you might try 6 point TNR, which gives about 10 lines per inch. ( Arial, Verdana, and several other typefaces included with Office are more readable at small sizes.)
