How to double space in Mail?

How does one double-space in Mail? If copy double-spaced text and paste in Mail email, it comes out as single spaced.

After much trial and error I found one solution. In the document file, clear all styles formatting. Then format the text again but do not assign it a style. Leave it as "normal" with your manual formatting. Then when you copy and paste the formatting is maintained in Mail. It seems to be that the assigned styles in the Word file (or Pages) is causing the problem.

How to double space in Pages for iPad?

Double spacing is double spacing whether you are using Pages or Word. Double spacing is dependent upon the font size that you are using in the document no matter which word processing app that you use.
Pages on the iPad has limited fonts and chances are pretty good that if you import a Word file into Pages on the iPad, there will be some formatting or font issues.
But once again, Helvetica in Pages is pretty much the same Helvetica as you would be using in Word. If you use a font in Word that is not available in Pages, you will see a warning message that some elements of the original document have been changed.

How to double space words in pages

I want to know how to double space WORDS NOT LINES on pages

I only see lines :(
You can turn off the period shortcut, so you can double space yourself easier. In settings, general, keyboard, "." Shortcut OFF. It's a work around.

How do i remove double space in messages?

All of my Mail using Apple Mail has double spaces in them how do I do I change to single-space?

Yes. That is the technique I traditionally use to drop an image into text. I even cut and pasted again as you suggested with the same result. Trust me, this is driving me nuts. I'm not doing anything different than before, but my results are different, even within the same document. I'll attach a few examples, all from this same document.
How the space after my in-line image is supposed to look:
And then a few of the pages with the mystery gap:

Mail.app adding double spaces

Recently Mail.app has started to replace some single sword spaces in plain-text e-mails with double spaces. I ran some tests and it seems to occur at regular intervals. Every 60+ characters, Mail.app adds a double space between words instead of a single one.
Every message shows up correctly in the "Sent" folder but when I check Hotmail, for example, there are suddenly double spaces popping up here and there. I've checked my e-mail on university campus with another e-mail client (Horde) and it also displayed double spaces every 60 characters or so.
I've tried another POP-account and the problem persisted. I've trashed the Mail.app .plist and the problem is still there. I've looked at every setting in the "Preferences" menu and the problem is still present.
I don't have the first clue what is wrong or how to fix this.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I believe I have a fix; this at least worked for me on both machines (home and work) that were exhibiting this issue:
Quit Mail and Safari (the latter may be voodoo on my part, but why not?)
Open Users -> <username> -> Library -> Mail -> V2 -> MailData (In OS X 10.8, the easy shortcut to the Library folder, which is hidden, is to hold down the Option key and click on the Go menu in the Finder; it'll appear as an option without a keyboard shortcut.)
Move all files with names that begin "Envelope Index" to the Trash. I had three such files.
Restart (again, this may be voodoo)
Open Mail. It will engage in a full reindexing of all your messages. I had about 65,000 messages, and this import/index process took about 10 minutes.
Once import is complete, your inboxes may appear to be empty. I had to quit Mail and relaunch it before all my messages were visible.
After some quick testing on previously problematic emails, the super annoying line break bug seems to be gone!

How do I clean up mail in my icloud? I have already deleted old mail (from all my e-mail accounts) on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much room). When I go to manage storage on any device & it will display how much room each program or app is using, it still shows that my e-mail is taking up the most room. Is there a way to actually log on to the icloud server to manage what it stored there? If so, how do I do it? Also, on a related subject, why does my mail not sync accross all devices? ie. when I delete an email on one device, why do I still see it on all my other devices? How can I change this?
I have an iphone5, ipad2, ipod 4th gen, ipod 3rd gen, all running on my same apple id - but I have a PC not a Mac home computer - is this part of the problem? Looking to upgrade to a Mac sometime this year...
Thank-you for the help!

I do have the Time Capsule and spoke to Apple Care here in Sydney about it yesterday. They told me my mail is not backed up there unless I create a special folder. I just tried ringing them again but Apple Care is closed today...
Mail is backed up automatically. If you make backups automatically, open Mail application and then, open the Time Machine app (in /Applications/Utilities). You will access to the Time Machine interface, and you will be able to see all your mails of all the backups you have, and you will be able to restore them. It means that your mails are backed up onto the Time Capsule

Double space for period. How about comma, too?

It's already kosher with the interface guidelines to
double space at the end of a sentence to get a
period, so how do I get people on the bandwagon
to make the spacebar a dual- or tri-function spacebar:
double tap for a comma, period, or question mark:
|   ,   |   .   |   ?   | <-----spacebar with
-----------------------           punct zones
Double-tap at the left edge for comma space, double-tap
near the middle for period space, and at the right edge
for question mark space. Why have to go to a separate
screen to type a comman and then come back to the text
keyboard? That's inifficient.
Comma, period, and question mark. That hits most of the major
marks used. Yeah, there's the exclamation point, but the
real estate on the spacebar reliably handles only three
marks. Four may be hard to employ, but I may be wrong.
I suggested this to Apple two years ago, and nothing's
been added to the OS.

Firstly, when I said InDesign inflates the space I didn't mean it whacked in a great chunk of space. It just gives a little bit more air relative to the fit of the text around it. You may not always see any noticeable difference. But when I read a book I don't want to see obvious white spaces at the start of every sentence. As long as the full point and following capital letter register on my brain fast enough that I am reading a new sentence, that's good enough for me. I think it makes reading more fluid. If you want to see extra space at the start of a sentence, then it's probably best to carry on with your double spacebar - unless you want to try something more exotic like a fixed width space.
I didn't mean you to literally type <full point><space><any character> into the find. I was just trying to tell you what to input. Type the full point, hit the spacebar, and then use the options list to the right of the find field (shown as a @), select "Wildcards", then select "any character". What you should see in your find field is . ^?
You could then enter . ^?      - that's two spaces. See why I spelled it out as <space>? - into the change to field.

How can i write with double spaces between words ?

hello everyone,
i need to write in pages with double spaces between words not between lines ..
how can i do it and make it default ?
for now, just write and click space bar twice ..!!!

Do you really need to do this? It is so ugly and illegible.
You can use a monospace font or use the auto-complete in Menu > Pages > Preferences to auto-substitute 2 spaces for each one.

How do I double space a document using Pages There is NO Line Spacing control in the drop down menu in the format bar

How do I double space a document in Pages. The instruction say to use the Line Spacing control in the format bar, but there is NO Line Spacing control in the drop down menu under Format. I'm writing a novel and I am having to manually double space after every line. It is **** when I am trying to edit my work.

The computer is not too old (and neither are you ). It may be better if you could upgrade it from 10.5.8 to 10.6 ... but that would not solve this problem.
As both Paul and I have advised ... get yourself on Pages > go to the View menu and halfway down is the option 'Show Inspector'. You'll end up with a panel like Paul showed you in his post of 08:42. Let's see what you can do from there.

Adding to what Kenichi has said, another option is to halve the amount of data you have stored on the Hard Drive. I don't mean to sound flippant, but examining what is taking up the existing space, could lead to a pruning of stuff you no longer need / use. Getting rid of some unwanted stuff will make room for additional downloads, presuming this is your desire.
