In Microsoft Word, how can you change the line spacing for a paragraph to double spacing?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
To apply double line spacing in Microsoft Word, you can access the paragraph spacing settings and choose 2.0 (Double) line spacing. In many versions of Word, this can be found through the paragraph formatting options available from the Layout/Page Layout settings. Why the other options are incorrect
A. Use the "Double Space" button on the Home tab → There is no specific button called "Double Space."
B. Manually press Enter twice after each line → This creates extra paragraphs, not double line spacing.
C. Press Ctrl + D to apply double spacing → Ctrl + D opens the Font dialog box; it does not change line spacing.
✅ Correct Answer: D. Go to the Page Layout tab and select "Double Space" from the Line Spacing options. Quick Tip A common shortcut for double spacing in Word is: Ctrl + 2 → Apply double line spacing Ctrl + 1 → Apply single line spacing Ctrl + 5 → Apply 1.5 line spacing
