Here are some instructions for adjusting the double spacing between lines of Google Docs documents on a computer.

Steps
Using the Top Menu (Horizontal Menu)

Select the text where you want to double-spacing the lines. If you click anywhere on a piece of text, the entire paragraph will be affected when you change the spacing. If you want to adjust the spacing of the entire document, select the entire document.
- You can select the entire document automatically using Edit → the Select all option in the Google Docs menu bar.
- The space between each line in the paragraph must be equal. If you only want to change the spacing of a few lines in a paragraph, you must separate these lines into separate paragraphs.

Show the Top menu bar if necessary. The Google Docs menu bar is a horizontal menu bar that lists a bunch of options just below the document’s name, the first option being File. If you don’t see this bar, it’s probably hidden. Try double clicking the ^ icon in the upper right corner of the document to bring up the menu bar. Alternatively, you can also press the key combination ctrl + Shift + F .
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f1/Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Double- Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f1/Double-Space-in-Google- Docs-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Click Format in the Google Doc menu bar. Click the Format button on the menu bar, a list of options will be displayed under this button.
- Note, this menu bar is not the same as the menu bar in the browser, because the browser’s menu bar is at the top of the screen and the Google Docs menu bar is located lower, inside the browser window.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d1/Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Double- Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d1/Double-Space-in-Google- Docs-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Move the cursor over Line Spacing on the drop-down menu box. The Line Spacing option is in the middle of the menu box. You can either click on it, or just move the pointer over this option and then more options will show up.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/98/Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-5.jpg/v4-460px-Double-Space-in- Google-Docs-Step-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/98/Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-5.jpg/ v4-728px-Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Select Double (2x single line spacing). When the new menu box displays several options for adjusting text spacing, select Double to create double spacing between the lines of the document. If you are not satisfied with double spacing, try other spacing by pressing 1.5 or clicking Custom spacing….
- Any option with a checkmark next to it is the current spacing option of that text.
Using the Line Spacing Icon
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/fa/Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-6.jpg/v4-460px-Double-Space-in- Google-Docs-Step-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/fa/Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-6.jpg/ v4-728px-Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Select the text where you want to double the line. Click anywhere in the text, or select the entire document by pressing cmd + A .
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/63/Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-7.jpg/v4-460px-Double-Space-in- Google-Docs-Step-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/63/Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-7.jpg/ v4-728px-Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Find the Gray Toolbar. This toolbar is above the document body, but below the document name and the menu bar. The toolbar is a bar with multiple symbols on a gray background, starting with the printer icon on the left and ending at the double ^ symbol on the right.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e2/Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-8.jpg/v4-460px-Double-Space-in- Google-Docs-Step-8.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e2/Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-8.jpg/ v4-728px-Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-8.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Find the Line Spacing icon on this toolbar. The Line Spacing icon is like a series of horizontal lines representing the text, next to a vertical arrow pointing in both directions up and down. If you don’t see it, you can check each icon from right to left. The Line Spacing icon is located on the right half of the toolbar.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/60/Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-9.jpg/v4-460px-Double-Space-in- Google-Docs-Step-9.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/60/Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-9.jpg/ v4-728px-Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-9.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Click the Line Spacing icon and select Double. Click the Line Spacing icon and select Double on the drop-down menu box. You can also choose a different line spacing, like 1.15 or 1.5. You can manually enter another spacing by clicking the Custom spacing… option also in the drop-down menu box.
Create Default Double Spacing for new documents
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/9b/Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-10.jpg/v4-460px-Double-Space-in- Google-Docs-Step-10.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/9b/Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-10.jpg/ v4-728px-Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-10.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Open a double-line stretched document. Make sure this document has the text settings you want to use most often. If you’ve changed the font, or added customizations like bold or italic, these settings will default to all new documents.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6d/Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-11.jpg/v4-460px-Double-Space-in- Google-Docs-Step-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6d/Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-11.jpg/ v4-728px-Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Open the “Normal text” menu bar. Click on any text that has a normal size format, not a large heading format. Select the Normal text button on the gray toolbar above the document’s page.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f9/Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-12.jpg/v4-460px-Double-Space-in- Google-Docs-Step-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f9/Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-12.jpg/ v4-728px-Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Follow the path to find the right option. Open the drop-down menu box, find the larger Normal text button just below the first button. Move the mouse directly to the right of this large button, locate and click the → icon. Finally, select the Update ‘Normal text’ to match button.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e1/Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-13.jpg/v4-460px-Double-Space-in- Google-Docs-Step-13.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e1/Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-13.jpg/ v4-728px-Double-Space-in-Google-Docs-Step-13.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Create a new document to double check. Newly created documents in Google Docs must be double-lined, in “Normal text” format. Create a new document and enter text to check if your settings changes have been saved.
- Note, the old document will still not change with your new settings unless you select Apply ‘Normal text’ , in the same menu box of the “update” option.
Advice
- If the Google Docs app on your phone or phone operating system doesn’t have an option to adjust line spacing, you can follow the following method, but it doesn’t guarantee success. Sign in to Google Docs on your computer and follow the “Making Double Space the Default” method. Then, log in online by phone to update this setting, then use the Apply ‘Normal text’ option to change the document to double-line spacing.
