Changing Line Spacing

The lines in all messages are single- spaced by default, which is appropriate for most messages. But you can easily change your message line spacing to double or 1.5 lines to allow extra space between every line. This is useful when you want to make notes on a printed message. Sometimes, you'll want to add space above and below certain paragraphs, for headlines, or indented quotations to help set off the text.

Change Paragraph Spacing

In an e-mail message, choose the paragraph(s) whose spacing you want to change, and then select that text.

Click the Format menu, and then click Paragraph.

Click the Indents And Spacing tab.

Enter the custom spacing parameters you want both before and after the paragraph(s), and then click OK.
