Can you just press the space bar two times if you don't have double spacing?

Question

I don't have microsoft word on my labtop, only wordpad and notepad. Can you just press the space bar 2 times if there's not an option to double space, or am I missing the option to double space? Thank you, I have to type a book report and it requires double spacing.

Ok I feel so stupid (which I probably am) for thinking that it was between the words. Lol. Well thanks everyone!!

Answer 1

Ctrl + 2 will do double spacing in word pad.
Ctrl +1 will single space.

Answer 2

Nope.. Double spacing is a line spacing thingy in Word. Pressing the spacebar just makes bigger gaps between words. Pushing the enter button at the end of each line twice would have a similar effect though.

Answer 3

Double spacing means between the lines, not between the words, therefore, y ou would push the enter key twice at the end of a line, not the space bar.

Answer 4

Everyone is right about the term 'double spacing.' If you want to create two spaces in a line of text, however, then yes - hit the space bar twice. FYI: that used to be done after a period, but the practice is no longer acceptable when making submissions to the primary news media. It has sort of died off...

Answer 5

In wordpad there is the option to double space, i.e. space under each line.

Answer 6

1. Double space doesn't means hit space twince it means to leave a space between lines.
2. U have to do it manually.
3. U could try this program its like office . Openoffice.org or com just search for open office.

Answer 7

No. Press ENTER twice if you want DOUBLE-SPACING. Double-spacing is the distance BETWEEN lines.

Answer 8

Hmmm, a double spacing doesn't meant EXECETLY double.You can always estimate. If it looks like a double spacing than its correct.

Answer 9

You have to hit the enter key twice, not the space bar.
