SUMMARY

Page 47 of the "Microsoft Works User's Guide" states that you can enter values less than 1 for line spacing. You can enter a number of less than 1 inch, but not less than the minimum of 1 line, which is not clear from reading the manual.

MORE INFORMATION

The minimum line spacing in Works for Windows is 120 percent of leading. This means that with a 12-point font, the minimum size of the line is 14.4 points (point size x 120 percent = minimum line size). In this case, if you enter 1Li in the Line Spacing box, Works will automatically set a 14.4pt line size, which is the minimum value allowed.

To enter a value of less than 1 inch, type ".5in" or ".25in" (without the quotation marks), as indicated on page 47 of the "Microsoft Works User's Guide."
