Line spacing refers to the amount of space between lines of text in a document. In WPS, you have the option to choose from various line spacing settings, such as single, 1.5, double, and even custom spacing. Understanding these options will help you make the right choice for your document.
-Single Line Spacing
Single line spacing is the most common and default setting in WPS. It places the text on top of each other, with no additional space between lines. This is ideal for short documents or when you want to fit more text on a page.
-1.5 Line Spacing
1.5 line spacing provides a moderate amount of space between lines, making it easier to read. It is often used in academic papers and reports.
-Double Line Spacing
Double line spacing is the most widely used line spacing in professional documents. It provides ample space between lines, making the document look more organized and professional.
