Line Spacing
Line spacing often determines how easy it is to read a document.
Line spacing is measured in lines or points.
Line spacing may be changed to single, double, or one and a half space increments.
For example,
When line spacing is measured in points, it is referred to as leading (pronounced ledding). Reducing leading makes the lines closer together and can make a text difficult to read, while increasing leading can help its readability. For example, the 10 point font usually uses 12 point leading. This is the default.
