Spacing between lines - I'm an idiot

Hello,
I am used to Appleworks, and Pages is proving tricky for me. This is probably an idiotic question, but HOW do you set it to change from single to double or triple spacing between lines? This is my first posting, and I would be so grateful for an answer.

No, you're not an idiot. The space after lines setting is similar in AppleWorks & Pages, it's just that it's turned on by default in Pages & not in AppleWorks. In Pages go to the text inspector (the big T) & adjust the line & before/after paragraph spacing to your liking. By default, 12 point after paragraph spacing is set in the default, blank template. While you're making these changes, you might want to consider making any other settings such as font, margins, etc. & saving the document as a template you can use for your default.

No Spacing Between Lines

My new glasses have been not quite right but this problem seems to be here at the discussions only ~ for me anyway.
There is no spacing between lines, not single spacing just jammed up under each line above when it is in the same paragraph. Very difficult to read.
If it is at my end can someone advise me how to rectify it. If it is at Apple's end then please rectify it.

mira --
Glad things have settled down.
May I make a suggestion?
In the future, when it's only happening on one site,
be sure to let us know that, OK? And give us the link, as well.
Apple Discussions has been having severe problems
for the last 2-4 weeks, and we could have told you immediately
that the problem was here -- Not with your glasses (been there, done that !)
and not with your Mac but here with these forums.
Hopefully it will be squared away soon.

How do I change the spacing between lines in Pages 5.5.2? Single spacing prints more like double spacing.

How do I change the spacing between lines in Pages 5.5.2? Single spacing prints more like double spacing.

In the Format panel under the Text Style tab, there is a ▸ Spacing category. Click it to open, and you will have a selector that defaults to Lines, and to the right, the ability to set your spacing in decimal values. In addition to Lines, you also have At Least, Exactly, and Between capability. You can even set exact line height in points. Check that your Before Paragraph, and After Paragraph settings are correct for your needs.

Spacing between lines is not consistent!

Dear co-community members,
I am a happy Pages user since a couple of months, but I just discovered a weird thing and that is: the spacing between the lines is not consistent! I am typing my document with margins left and right: 2,25 upper and under: 2,00. I use Helvetica Neue Light in 10. And I have tried several spacings: 1,15 - 1,3 - 1,35 - 1,4 but the spaces between the lines are not consistently as big or as small as they need to be.
I discovered this when I was test printing it and I saw something was off - on paper, I thought it was my printer. But I also checked the document again: spacing was 'the same' in the whole document according to the info window. But I could see it with my bare eyes that it was not consistent (on screen nor on paper). I put the screen on 200% and I took a ruler and the spaces vary with 1mm when for example the spacing is set on 1,3. I don't think this is normal and I cannot find any solution nor explanation for it.
I am using a MBP Retina 13" late 2012 and I have the most updated/recent version of Pages/OSX. Please let me know whether I did something wrong or are my eyes just too good hahah - or it is an 'error' in Pages .
Kind Regards,
Ning.

@PeterBreis0807 & @Barry
I actually don't have any objects or other material/fonts in my text (yet) that are not uniform size . I wanted to make a print screen from a part of my text, but I am not sure if I am allowed to post that here since I am typing a literature review with references.
I btw do have headings in small capital (Helvetica Neue - Medium), it might not be Helvetica Neue Light also but I have never had problems with headings in another font causing inconsistent spacing between the rest of my text .
Thank you for your reply!
Ning.

How do you change the spacing between lines of text?

using Dreamweaver 6 how do you change the spcing between lines of text. Not seeing it as a option in the page properties menu.

Try CSS line-height property.

Hi anushree.,
If u are using matrix layout:
In Layout Data select MatrixHeadData to display UI in next line.,
If u want to give space between UI elements in the width enter 50, 60, 70 or what ever space u want.
Also in the vGutter u can select medium , large , medium with rule to give space between UI elements.
n if u want to give space between lines ., in the height enter 30 40 or whatever spacing between lines u want.,
Matrix layout is a good layout., and u can play with colspan , hAlign, vAlign, vGutter, width and height options.,
If u dont like the layout with these options then use Grid layout., where u can give custom spacing., with the help of Left Padding, Right Padding, Top Padding, Bottom Padding.
reply if u need some more clarifications.,
Thanks & Regards

Whitespace between lines?

Hey, I am using a JEditorPane to display an HTML formatted document. The spacing between lines of text seems to be a bit much, is there any way for me to adjust that? Or is the spacing between lines set and cannot be changed in a JEditorPane ??
Thanx in advance, Bill.

I already have, cellpadding is zero and cellspacing is zero, but line spacing all on it's own is larger also, even in tables, I know HTML pretty well and it works on other browsers so I know it's a JAVA thing. :0)
Thanx anyway, Bill.

Set the height between lines in Eclipse

Hello,
First of all, I'm sorry my question is not related directly to Java, but it's related to Eclipse. I want to know how I can change the height between lines of code in Eclipse.
Can anybody help me, please?
Thanks.

I don't know if this is of any help, but you can change the fonts and
maybe another font is more what you want.
Go to: Window>Preferences>Workbench>Colors and Fonts>Java
and select another font and adjust its point size. You can't directly
change the vertical spacing between lines though.
kind regards,
Jos

Pages 5: Spacing between bullets (not line spacing)

How can I control the spacing between bullets?
1. I clearly see how to control the spacing around a bullet relevant to its text. That's not what I'm referring to.
2. I clearly see how to set line spacing. That's not what I'm referring to.
What I'd like to do is keep a line spacing of 1.0 on the text, but add padding between list items (between bulleted content). The method in Pages '09 was to add buffer space "after the paragraph" (or before). However, in Pages 5.0 this option does not exist. Some of my bullets have enough content that wraps, which is why line spacing is not an acceptable solution.
How can I control spacing between bulleted list items, such that each chunk of content is better separated?
Thank you!

Silly me. I have located it, by expanding the Spacing menu. The control I'm looking for is right there.
I've included a screencap, in case anyone else misses the obvious like I have. Thanks for looking!

Since changing over to Mountain Lion I discover that I am no longer able to adjust spaces between lines. If I choose spacing of 1.3 after two lines single-spaced, the entire previous lines end up with 1.3 spacing. What am I missing?

Do those previous lines have a Return/Linefeed after them, or are they just wrapped to a new line?
What App is it you're using?

Spacing between characters too large when using line justification !!!!

Dear friends,
Since the first time when I have used Pages I noticed a somewhat annoying feature: Sometimes when I use line justification (left and right) the spacing between the characters increase substantially. Sometimes the spacing is ridiculously large. I guess that I have mad something wrong, but I do not know what. Can someone give me a hint what I should do to overcome this irritating aspect?!
Thanks in advance

There is no doubt that Mellel is a much better application than Pages in a lot of areas. It has been around for longer, it is more mature and it is actively maintained. Pages is of course better in a lot of other areas - and there is room for both on the market.
Mellel handles hyphenation in a much more advanced way than Pages and it has support for example for soft-hyphens, editable hyphenation dictionaries and hyphenation zones - something Pages lacks.
When it comes to the large space between characters, however, I cannot say that Mellel has invested a lot in making it look good. They just chose the simplest solution, just like MS Word, to increase space between words - not between characters. They even use this as an example of something ugly in Mellel's own user guide: "For example, the following text is fully justified but not hyphenated. The spaces between the words look wide and make the text look quite ugly."
As mentioned before, in some cases increasing space between words is the most pleasing solution to the eye. In some cases adding some space between characters is more pleasing, and that is the reason why Apple went to the extra trouble of adding that functionality. In many cases, it is not obvious which way is best, and people will have diverging opinions.

Extra spacing between words in a line when an icon is inserted

Why do i see extra spacing between words in a line when an icon is inserted. Can someone please help me fix this issue as this is affecting readability?

Third option is to reference the image and show it below the paragraph.
The size of the image is in your control and if it needs more space than the text, it is going to take it.
