Paragraph Formatting

To change paragraph spacing, click inside the paragraph, open the dialog box, and look up the 'Spacing' section. Then:

• To add spacing above the paragraph, enter the number of points of space to add inside the 'Before:' box.
• To add spacing below the paragraph, enter the number of points of space to add inside the 'After:' box.

Another way to change paragraph spacing is by using the Layout tab's Spacing input boxes.

[Note: the difference between line spacing and paragraph spacing is that line spacing creates a space within a paragraph's lines, while paragraph spacing sets spaces before or after paragraphs. When being asked to change paragraph spacing, don't confuse it with line spacing.]
