Answers: Shame on the smartalec who told you to seize Word. If WP is what you own, this is what you do. Click on Format, afterwards Line, afterwards Spacing, In the little numbers on the gone, use the up arrow until you draw from them to 2.0. That's double spacing. And near WP, it will work for the unharmed document or from the point you relocate the chain spacing forward.
Good Luck and hold on to your WP. I enjoy and I use it closely.
