How To Change Paragraph Spacing In Word 2016

Adjusting Spacing Betwixt Paragraphs

In Microsoft Word, you take the option to arrange the spacing between paragraphs. APA formatting requires papers to be doubled-spaced, which can be washed through Line Spacing.

*Note, the default paragraph spacing in MS Word 2016 is "Open up" or with a infinite afterwards each paragraph. This should be removed to comply with APA vii standards.

Remove the Default Space Betwixt Paragraphs:

Set up your cursor to the location of the paragraph spacing. Click on the Line and Paragraph Spacing icon in the Home Ribbon. Select "Remove Extra Space" to remove the extra infinite. This has to be done in each document unless you arrange your default settings.

Tip: If you don't come across the option you lot need, move your cursor to a new location in your document OR highlight the space between paragraphs.
