About This Feature
Overview
Line spacing controls the vertical distance between lines inside a paragraph. It helps make document pages easier to read, keeps white space more balanced, and supports common formatting needs for reports, homework, and general document editing.
In WPS Writer on Android, you can select the target paragraph first, then open Tools > Home > Line Spacing. The feature currently supports preset multiple line spacing options and a fixed value in points for more detailed adjustment.
This feature is useful when you want to improve readability on a phone, standardize paragraph formatting, or make quick layout edits while working on the go.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android, WPS provides a direct path to adjust paragraph line spacing through Tools > Home > Line Spacing, with multiple spacing presets and a fixed value in points. | Word supports changing line spacing and paragraph spacing before and after paragraphs in documents. | Google Docs provides paragraph formatting controls, and its official help content includes paragraph and font formatting on Android. | Notion provides text styling and page formatting tools, but its official help content does not describe a traditional document-style line spacing control for paragraphs. | Acrobat focuses on PDF editing, conversion, and signing; its official product page does not present traditional body text line spacing as a core document layout feature. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS gives Android users a direct mobile entry for paragraph spacing changes in the editing flow. Distinct: It supports both multiple spacing presets and a fixed point value in the current feature flow. | Compared with WPS: Word offers broad document formatting, but the official guidance is more general and less tied to the Android entry path described here. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs supports paragraph formatting on Android, but the official page is broader and does not present the same feature path and preset details shown in WPS for this task. | Compared with WPS: Notion is centered more on block-based writing and page organization than on fine paragraph line spacing control in a traditional document editor. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is more suitable for PDF workflows; for paragraph layout changes in editable text documents on a phone, WPS is closer to the writing workflow. |
