There are three steps to adjust the spacing between Word paragraphs: one is to adjust the front, back and line spacing of the segments through the paragraph settings panel; the second is to use the "Line and Paragraph Spacing" button to quickly select the preset line spacing; the third is to adjust the spacing of the entire document uniformly by modifying the style. Specifically, click the small arrow in the lower right corner of the "Paragraph" area in the "Start" tab to open the paragraph settings window, setting the distance before and after segments and line spacing modes respectively; if you need to operate quickly, you can directly select 1.0, 1.5 or 2.0 times the line spacing in "Line and Paragraph Spacing". For long documents, it is recommended to right-click the "Text" style and select "Modify" to set the default paragraph format uniformly, or create custom styles to achieve classification management; in addition, you should pay attention to clearing unnecessary blank lines, line breaks and the original format brought by copying from templates or web pages to avoid affecting the overall layout effect.

It is actually not difficult to adjust the spacing of paragraphs in Word, but many people are prone to not finding a place at the beginning. In fact, just open the paragraph settings panel and you can freely adjust the spacing.

Find the location of the paragraph setting

In the Word menu bar, click the "Start" tab and find the small arrow in the lower right corner of the "Paragraph" area. After clicking, the paragraph settings window will pop up. Here you can adjust multiple options such as before, after, and line spacing.

If you just want to quickly adjust the line spacing, you can also directly select the preset spacing in the "Line and Paragraph Spacing" button under the "Start" tab, such as 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 times the line spacing, etc., which is suitable for quick operations.

Understand the difference between before and after section and line spacing

Before and after the paragraph control the spacing between paragraphs, such as the gap between two paragraphs. The row spacing controls the distance between rows inside a paragraph. Understanding this difference can avoid misoperation.

• Previous paragraph: The distance between the beginning of the current paragraph and the previous paragraph
• After paragraph: The distance between the end of the current paragraph and the next paragraph
• Line spacing: You can select different modes such as single, multi-fold, fixed value, etc.

For example, in writing a paper, the school may require that the front and back sections are 0, and the line spacing is 1.5 times. At this time, you cannot just adjust the line spacing, but also check whether the front and back sections of the section are cleared.

Use styles to adjust paragraph spacing uniformly

If you use the "Body" style for the whole article, you can right-click the "Body" style, select "Modify", and then set the default paragraph spacing in the format. This way, there is no need to adjust one paragraph after another, and it is suitable for long documents.

You can also create custom styles, such as "Introduction Paragraph" or "Title Paragraph", and set different paragraph spacings to facilitate management and layout.

Some details that are easy to ignore

Sometimes you clearly adjust the front and back of the paragraph, but it still looks wrong. It may be that you accidentally add extra blank lines or newlines to the paragraph. It is recommended to click "Show/Hide Edit Tag" in the "Start" tab to see if there are any extra carriage return symbols.

In addition, some templates or content copied from web pages will come with paragraph format. At this time, you can use the "Clear Format" button to restore to the default style first and then set it uniformly.

Basically these operations are just the ones, not complicated but the details are easy to ignore. If you master these steps, adjust the spacing between paragraphs will be much easier.
