Getting a Double-Spaced Printout
Summary: Printing a double-spaced document without completely changing your document layout. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, Word 2003, and Word 2007.)
It is not uncommon to need a double-spaced printout of a document while you are developing it. However, it can be bothersome to save the document as double-spaced, particularly if the need for double-spacing is only temporary (meaning your final document will be single-spaced). If you need an easy way to print a double-spaced document, follow these quick steps:
- Save your document.
- Press Ctrl+A. Your entire document is selected.
- Press Ctrl+2. Word double-spaces the document.
- Click on the Print tool on the toolbar. (In Word 2007, click the Office button and then click Print.) Word prints your document.
- Close your document without saving.
