Keyboard Shortcut of the Week

Single and Double Line Spacing

Lucky you, it’s a bonus week with two keyboard shortcuts for the price of one. They go together so nicely, I couldn’t bear to split them up. This week’s shortcuts are also two of the easiest to remember because the keys closely match the function!

While there are five kinds of line spacing in Word (single, 1.5, double, at least, exactly and multiple), I most often use single and double, and like a fast way to switch back and forth between them.

To quickly apply single spacing, press Ctrl + 1. For double spacing, press Ctrl + 2. So simple. So useful.
