It isn't immediately obvious, since the spin box increments by half lines,
but using the Multiple setting, you can set any fraction you like (just type
it in). I often use 1.25 or 1.3 and even more frequently use .99 or less to
fit copy into a space that's not quite big enough for single-spaced text.

Doug,
From the Format menu, select Paragraph then change the Line Spacing
under
the Spacing section of the Indents and Spacing tab.
I've been trying that, but - and forgive me if this is a stupid question -
what do I change it to? The default seems to be measured in points - I've
tried numbers like "11.5pts" but the result just seems to be single
spacing.
Entering "1.45" and similar has the same effect.
Am I missing something obvious?
