Hi :)
Brilliant!  Even easier than i thought!  Well found! :)  Congrats.

It sounds like it might be good to re-configure the "Text-body" style
someday, maybe - or leave it so you can switch between the 2 styles as
needed.  Superb! :)
Congrats and regards from
Tom :)

Tom,

That was it!

Thank you!!

For all those interested, when I changed the Style Setting Box from
Text Body to Default Style, then it changed the spacing to single
spacing.

Thank you again.

Best,

Charles.

Hi :)
Chapter 3 of the "Getting Started Guide", the chapter about "Styles and
Templates".  In MS Office their equivalent can often cause problems but
in
LibreOffice the system is different and makes it MUCH easier to produce
much higher quality documents with much less effort.
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications

At the moment it sounds like you are formatting directly inside the
content
of the document.  For the most part, most of the document probably could
do
with looking consistent and many of your headings and so on also being
consistent with each other.  Future documents may well need to have the
same levels of consistency.  At the moment you are maybe trying to
remember
adn struggle a bit to try to force it all to behave.

Using styles, even a tiny bit, can drastically reduce the amount of
direct
formatting you need to do and that can save quite a bit of time.  Each
time
you have to reach for the mouse to apply formatting it reduces your
productivity.  Being able to keep yoru hands on the keyboard and use
simple
keyboard combinations such as;

Ctrl B   to switch "bold" on/off and
Ctrl I     to switch "Italics" on/off and
Ctrl U    to switch "Underline" on/off

along with

Ctrl x  to cut  (x looks a little like a pair of scissors)
Ctrl c  to copy
Ctrl v  to paste  (v looks a bit like a downwards arrow)

and of course

Ctrl left/right arrows to skip a word at a time

All combine to make your typing much faster and with less need to break
your concentration.  Touch-typing courses often suggest that it's better
to
leave all the formatting until after a significant amount of a document
has
been typed.  This can work quite well wrt headings but it helps to be
able
to apply emphasis without hunting for the mouse and then repositioning
your
fingers again afterwards.

To open Styles just press F11, Then look up beside where you would normal
set your font to see the name of the style you are using in the body of
the
contents: hopefully either "Text body" or "Default" and right-click on
the
appropriate one in the styles pop-up dialogue-box to modify it.


I hope this helps!
Regards from
Tom :)

I couldn't catch exactly what are you trying to do.

Did you mean the vertical spacing among lines or the horizontal among
characters?

If you started with "plain text" why doors it have such a (double?)
spacing?

What font are you using?

Hi Folks,

In Libre Writer 4.3.5.2, I wanted to change the plain text to single
spacing for all lines of text in all paragraphs. I highlighted all the
lines and then I followed both of these suggestions but it still
appears double-spaced although it says it's single spaced but isn't

How do I truly secure single spacing?

1. Select the paragraph and then go to Format, Paragraph, Indents &
Spacing tab, Line Spacing .

2. Right click to open the context menu > Line Spacing.

Thank you.

Charles.
