Paragraph spacing

Laura.W.8162

I've copied text from word to my Brightspace module space. I changed the font and size to match that I've written direct, but the lines are very close together, where Brightspace text is more spaced out, There doesn't seem to be a line spacing option in the paragraph section of the bar at the top - how do I increase line spacing?

Hi, @Laura.W.8162.

Perhaps in pasting you brought over the underlying Word formatting code and that is making things squished?

To see if you brought over extra code, click the </> symbol in second row of the bar at the top.

Example: I entered the following…

And when I click </>, it shows me the underlying code…

If I wanted to get rid of the extra Word formatting from this particular block of text, I would return to the normal view, highlight my text and click Ctrl X (to cut) and then click Ctrl Shift P (to paste without formatting) and then click the blue Update button.

Does this help?
