Format the Paragraph The amount of space between the lines of text is technically called leading in the print business. For several hundred years each letter of type was made from wood or metal and placed into a key frame. The rows of type were separated by strips of thin, lead bar: the leading. In Microsoft Word the leading is called Line Spacing.   Before You Begin Place your cursor before the M of Michigan Click ENTER on the keyboard to force a new line. Now you have two lines of type.   Try This: Increase the Line Spacing Select both lines of type by dragging the mouse over the text. Go to the Home Ribbon Click Line Spacing and try different sizes.
