Looking for someone really good at sentence/paragraph leading.
I am creating a document that has to have certain sentence and paragraph
leading (ideal is 16 for sentences and 18 for paragraphs). However, I'm not writing regular text. I am writing a line and then hitting enter to write the next line (so Word thinks it's a new paragraph). Here is an example: do all the good you can by all the means you can in all the ways you can in all the places you can at all the times you can to all the people you can as long as you ever can after john wesley, founder of methodism, 18c Between each line/sentence there should be a leading of 16 and between the last line and the next paragraph (the "after" line) there should be a leading of 18. Any ideas on how I can get this to work the way I need it to since I'm not typing to the end of the line and then running to the next? |

You could hit shift-return at the end of each line, which will insert a
manual line break instead of a paragraph mark. Then Word will consider all the lines part of the same paragraph.
