Re: [libreoffice-users] Libre Writer - Line Spacing - not appearign as single space

I *highly* recommend getting used to styles - create your own custom styles
that you can readily use. It is 100x easier than direct formatting which is
how most users use Writer. If you're doing anything more than a one page
document, having useful styles ensure that you'll get the results that you
want.


Best,
Joel
