In Word 2003, however, the defaults were 1.0 line spacing, and no default spacing after each paragraph (more 'compact').

The paragraph you are reading right now has a line spacing of 1.3 - 30% of the line height is taken by white space, which helps long paragraphs 'breath', and become a bit more friendly to readers' eyes! In this tutorial, we will show you how to change the line spacing as multiples of the current font size, or set it to a fixed unit - and which solution is typically best, and for which purpose.ДЇYI: in Word 2010 and Word 2007, the default line spacing is 1.15, with a default paragraph spacing of 10 points after. This measures the total height of the line, including space above and below the previous and next lines (this works in conjunction with ' paragraph spacing', for example, which controls how much white space appears before and after each paragraph). The bundled themes are kept simple purposely.Whenever you type some text in a Word 2010 document, it will by default have a ' 1.15' line spacing value (also known as ' line height'), which means that 1.15 times the current font size will be used to display a line of text: the smaller the multiple (minimum being 1), the more 'tight' your text looks.

Lots of themes have options in the Customizer for you to change the line spacing or margins or lots of other things. You should just pick a different theme that looks more like you prefer. You definitely shouldnвЂ™t have to learn CSS to have a web site. It is not browser specific, except that it has the browser support charts for each property. The link was to a CSS reference, maintained by the Mozilla Foundation. Line spacing is CSS, handled by the theme. There is no font size change (what you refer to is actually changing the HTML tag used). It currently does not, but enhancements are in the plugin and soon in core. The paragraph block does not have settings to allow several Word-type formatting features Welcome to web publishing! ItвЂ™s best not to stress about how it looks exactly because with all the different devices and browsers that visitors use, they could all see it differently.ДЎ.

If I have understood things correctly then IвЂ™m a bit disappointed in the Theme or perhaps it my be the Gutenberg system. Thank you both again for taking the time to help. However I fear I may end up living with whatever line spacing, colours and font sizes the combination of Gutenberg and Theme Twenty-Twenty forces on me. Steve вЂ“ Thanks again for your link, I will study the Chrome Developer Tools (is that perhaps the equivalent of the link Joy gave for Mozilla?) and see if I can find the time and pluck up the courage to delve into CSS. Joy вЂ“ I am using Chrome but will see if I can find the equivalent for it to the link you kindly gave.

I have made one customising вЂњAdditional CSSвЂќ insertion using specific code I was given in an answer to a separate question in the Twenty-Twenty forum, but even if used your links IвЂ™d be nervous about making a lot of CSS additions вЂ“ and certainly would not want to dig around in the complete coding for the Theme (even if I could discover where to find that coding!). I interpret what you both say as meaning that the only way to do these things is using CSS, is that correct? As an absolute beginner I was hoping I would not have to learn such coding.

The Classic block can change the font colour (of everything or even just a few words and that is particularly useful), it can change font size using the Paragraph drop-down menu but only for everything in a paragraph, and it cannot change the line spacing at all. The paragraph block does not have settings to allow several Word-type formatting features, specifically changing line spacing, font size, or font colour.Дў. Thanks Joy and Steve for your replies and the useful links.
