MS Word has great options for formatting text. In this tutorial, I will share step by step instructions to add double space in a word document.
Double spacing means that your text contains a full blank line between two rows. Double spacing is mainly useful for improving text readability.
Double spacing also makes it easy to add feedback in a printed document. Since there is a blank line between each row, you can use the empty space for writing feedback.
