"leading" between lines---what is it? how to measure it?; additio
1. I must prepare a document (for court), in 12 pt. font that has "at
least 2-point leading between the lines." What does this mean?
When I go to
A. Word: home: para.: line spacing options: indents and spacing: line
spacing: single, there is the 'normal' space between lines of single-spaced
print.
I also note, however, that I can go to
B. Word: home: para.: line spacing options: indents and spacing: line
spacing: exactly: at 12 pt.---and the lines appear closer together;
changing it to 14 pt. seems to make the lines about the same as A. above.
I wonder if the . . . exactly: 14 pt., when using 12 pt. font, means
that there is a 2 pt. "leading" (the difference between 12 pt. font and 14
pt. 'exact' line spacing. Is that so?
Since the normal single spacing seems to have about the same spacing
between lines, I wonder what the actual "points" (if that is the right term)
is between lines of 12 pt. font---is it 2 (or, for example, 1.85 or 2.2 or
some such?)
2. The document also must be in one of three fonts only: Century
Expanded, Century Schoolbook, or New Century Schoolbook. My MS Word 2007 has
a "Century" font but none of the other three are shown. I see that the local
Kinko's, which also has MS Office 2007, has all three of the required fonts.
Can I get one or all of these three required fonts from Microsoft?
Thank you.
