Changing the spacing between lines of text
Once you have created a text object, you can change the spacing between the lines of text. If you want to create a new text object using a specific line spacing, just place the text cursor in the document and set the line spacing on the Text Tool Infobar. Line Spacing is displayed as a percentage of the character size. '100%' spaces the lines as closely as possible without lines coming into contact. "200%" is double-spaced text.
To change the line

1. Select the text you want to change (see Selecting text).
2. Choose the Text Tool.

Tips
If you only select part of a line,
changing the line spacing will affect the whole line.
You can also set the line spacing
by typing a value into the line spacing field and pressing RETURN.
You can enter a value as a percentage
of the size of the largest character in the line or an absolute value
using any unit, for example you can enter '4pt' or '2cm'.
