Intervals in the "Word": what it is and how to change them

When the document "Vord" is decorated beautifully, then it is more pleasant to work with it. Most likely, with such a philosophy no one will argue. Beautiful design in this case is called formatting. This concept includes a lot, but in the article we will only consider the intervals in the "Word". Let's talk about what it is, where their settings are and how to change them.

Extra paragraph

Before talking about the intervals in the "Word" I want to remember that it looks like a downed interval settings, but it is not. Many people can find a double paragraph for the high parameter of the interval between paragraphs. Moreover, everyone can make such a mistake, because the visual paragraph is not allocated in any way and you only need to check it yourself.

But you can use some trick and visualize all the paragraphs with the help of the corresponding button. How it looks, you can see in the image below. Look for this button in the "Home" tab.

As soon as you press it, different symbols will appear in your document. All of them we will not list - there is simply no sense. And the paragraph looks like this - "¶". To get rid of unnecessary paragraphs, view the entire document in the non-printable character display mode and delete the extra "¶" characters.

Set the default intervals

Such a problem, like unnecessary paragraphs, is, of course, a rarity. Most often, the culprits are incorrectly given intervals in the "Word". Initially, we'll look at how to change the intervals so that the changes remain forever. And after that we'll discuss how to make changes locally.

So, to set the default settings, you need to open the program. Now on the toolbar, find the "Paragraph" column (in the "Home" tab). There will be an arrow in the lower right corner - click on it to get to the settings we need. In the "Paragraph" settings, you can also access it in another way by clicking on the PCM in any area of the document and selecting "Paragraph" from the menu.

In the settings window, make sure that the tab you are on is called "Indents and Spacing". In this case, we are only interested in the area in the window called "Interval". It has the ability to change both the interline and the interval between paragraphs. In the first case, you need to interact with the drop-down list in the right part of the window. In the second case, on the left.

Once you have changed the line spacing or paragraph spacing in the Word document, click the "Default" button. This is necessary for the changes to be preserved by the template - in this case you do not have to change these parameters each time.

Change the line spacing in two clicks

We sorted out the intervals in the "Vord" by default, but as you can see, this process is quite long, and if you need to frequently change the intervals in different areas of the document, it can take a long time.

Now we'll talk how to change the line spacing in a few seconds.

This is done very simply. You need to click the "Interval" icon on the "Home" tab. Its location you can see in the picture below.

A drop-down list opens in which you can specify the interval you need. Before this, do not forget to select the area of the text to which you want to make changes.

Change the interval between paragraphs in two clicks

How to change the line spacing, we learned, now let's talk about how to quickly change the interval between paragraphs. This is done already on the "Design" tab. There, in the column "Formatting the document", find the corresponding icon. It is called "Intervals between paragraphs". Interaction with it occurs similarly with the previous method. In the drop-down list, select the value you need, before you forget to select the desired text area.

That's all I would like to talk about in this article. Of course, in the program "Word" the interval between words can also be changed, but this is another topic.
