Adjusting the line spacing can help ensure that the content is well-organized and visually appealing. In this article, we will guide you through the process of adjusting the line spacing of text within a WPS document table.
Understanding Line Spacing Options
Before diving into the specifics of adjusting line spacing in a WPS document table, it's important to understand the different line spacing options available. The most common line spacing settings include:

3. Double: This setting doubles the line height, providing ample space between lines.
4. Exactly: This allows you to specify an exact line spacing value.
5. At least: This setting ensures that the line spacing is at least the specified value, but can be more if needed.
6. Multiple: This allows you to set a multiple of the standard line height.
