Set line spacing in Libre Office

Setting the line spacing in Libre Office is not difficult. We show you how to do this in two different ways.

Set the line spacing in Libre Office

The line spacing setting is a bit hidden in Libre Office, so several steps are required to get there:

1. Mark the text area whose line spacing you want to change.
2. In the menu bar, select "Format" and then "Paragraph".
3. Now switch to the "Indents and clearances" tab. You can also set the line spacing there, among other things.

Change the line spacing quickly using the context menu

It is a little faster if you set the line spacing via the context menu:

1. Mark the text area whose line spacing you want to change.
2. Right-click on the selected text.
3. Now move the mouse pointer to the entry "Line spacing" in the context menu. Use the left mouse button to select the required line spacing.

The practical tip relates to Libre Office 4.0.3.3. The procedure may differ slightly in other versions.
