Select the text you want to change.

Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Text button, and then click Text.

Move the Line slider left to decrease spacing or right to increase it.

To specify a precise line spacing value, type a point value in the Line field, or click the up or down arrow next to the field.

Choose a line spacing option from the Line spacing pop-up menu that appears when you click the text below the line field.

• Standard line spacing (Single, Double, Multiple):  
  The space between lines is proportional to font size. Use this when the relative distance between ascenders (parts of letters that extend to the top of the line) and descenders (parts of letters that extend below the line) should remain fixed. Single sets line spacing to single-spaced, and Double sets it to double-spaced. Multiple lets you set line spacing values between single and double, or greater than double.
• At Least:  
  The distance from one line to the next will never be less than the value you set, but it may be larger for larger fonts to prevent overlapping text lines. Use this when the distance between lines should remain fixed, but overlap is not desired if the text gets large.
• Exactly:  
  The distance between the baselines.
• Between:  
  The value you set increases the space between the lines, instead of increasing the height of the lines. By contrast, double-spacing doubles the height of each line.
