To adjust line spacing, select the Paragraph command from the Format menu.
In the Spacing group box, you can specify the amount of vertical space allowed for each line of text. From the Step drop down-list, choose between, Single, 1.5, Double, 2.5 and Custom.
By default, Ability uses single line spacing, which works by examining the largest font on the line and setting the line height to approximately 120% of the font’s height. Double spacing uses 240% and so on. You can set your own line spacing by typing a value in the Custom box or clicking on the arrow to scroll through the values.
The Before and After boxes allow you to specify the spacing at the beginning and end of a paragraph respectively. This is useful in conjunction with styles when creating long documents, as you can specify the exact spacing before and after headings and sub-headings.
