  • Click the Indents and Spacing tab in the Paragraph dialog box.
  • To specify the spacing before the selected paragraphs, type a number in the before box.
  • To specify spacing after the selected paragraphs, type a number in the after box.
  • Click OK button to apply the settings.
  • You can specify the space in inches, points and centimeters.
  • The preview section of dialog box shows the effect of your selected spacing between the paragraphs.
