Applying spacing above or below paragraphs

• You can adjust the spacing between your paragraphs.  This can sometimes make long documents clearer, or can be used to bring attention to certain paragraphs within a document. In the example below we have increased the spacing before a paragraph.
  
  
  

• Select a paragraph within your document. Within the paragraph section of the Home tab, click on the Paragraph Dialog Box Launcher. 
  
  
  
  

• Within the Spacing section of the Paragraph dialog box, use the Before and After control to set the space that will be inserted before and after the paragraph.  Experiment with inserting different amounts of spacing and look at the effect.
