The fastest way to change line spacing in Microsoft Word is to use a keyboard shortcut. Here’s how.
Highlight the line of text you want to change, and then hold [CTRl][1] for single spacing and [CTRL][2] double spacing. Nothing to it!
This works in all modern versions of Microsoft Word.

I actually prefer to use CTRL+5, which is 1.5-line spacing.

@Tom – I use word daily. Great tip! Smells like we need an entire groovyPost dedicated to Microsoft Word keyboard short-cuts. Will need to schedule that!
