Remember that teachers are not always the quickest to catch up with

That's another relic from Typewriterland, of course.  In a word 
processor, you can space lines or paragraphs vertically by any amount 
you like: you do not have to be limited to adding space in whole text 
line heights.  It's better to think of extra vertical spacing in 
millimetres or inches or points, not lines.
