    No, double spacing means there should be a blank line between your written lines.

    Type out your assignment in Word, then highlight everything (click and hold your left mouse button down after the last word, and drag it up so all of your words are selected) and go to:

    >Format

    >> Paragraph

    >>Line Spacing

    >>>>Double

    Whats Double Spaced

  • 1 decade ago

    No double spacing is a format of the distance between the lines in a paper. If you have Word 2003, I believe you go to:

    Format ----> Paragraph

    There you should see a box come up with a bunch of different things. Look for the thing that says spacing. Click the arrow and there you shall see double space.

    If you have Word 2007, look on the main toolbar and there will be a bar that says paragraph on it. Click the box/arrow picture and it'll open a box similar to the one in 2003. Follow the same rules as 2003.

    Source(s): have 2007.

    Double spaced is one blank line between every line. This is usually done in an English class where one is writing an essay and the teacher needs room to make corrections and comments so that you can read them.

    Highlight everything, then hit CTRL + 2

    If you need to revert it back to single space, CTRL + 1

    You're welcome.

    She's right... and if you don't have Word, just skip every other line to make it about the same.
