line-spacingmicrosoft word
I'm trying to increase my line-spacing of a paragraph while keeping a visually attractive 'padding' that is equal at the top and bottom of the line. Increasing line-height currently 'pads' the bottom of the line (see screenshot).
Is it possible to somehow vertically align the text in the middle of the line, or might there be another solution?
Well, it can be done, but there is no simple solution. One way to do it is to call font dialogue on the picture and lower it by fixed offset. You would need to guess the value though. And if you change the size of the picure or font later you would need to readjust.
Here is a quick howto:

Use shift+enter instead of enter.
This will insert a line break instead of a carriage return and preserve the justified text of the previous paragraph.

It looks like you have your text double spaced. Instead of increasing the line spacing, add spacing (try 12pt) before and after the paragraph. The colored box will stay tight to the text, but it will be even on both top and bottom. If you want the border to be further away from the text, use the Options button in the Borders and Shading dialog to set the distance of the border from the text.
Another alternative, if you need to use double spacing, would be to increase the top border to compensate for the additional width that the double spacing adds below your text.
