About This Feature
Overview
Line Spacing adjusts the distance between lines inside a paragraph so you can improve document density and reading comfort. In WPS for iOS, you can select text, open the bottom toolbar, go to the Home tab, and use the Line Spacing option to increase or decrease spacing with +/- controls. This is useful for cleaning up body text, making paragraph formatting more consistent, and improving readability on mobile devices.

| Capability Summary | On iOS, you can select text in a document, open Tools > Home > Line Spacing, and use +/- to adjust paragraph line spacing. | Word supports Home > Line and Paragraph Spacing and also provides Line Spacing Options for more adjustments. | Google Docs supports Line & paragraph spacing with Single, 1.15, 1.5, Double, and custom spacing before and after paragraphs. | Notion provides text styling, font choices, and page width settings, but its help page does not describe a traditional document-style line spacing control. | Acrobat supports line spacing and paragraph spacing after when editing text in PDFs. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The iOS path is direct for quick paragraph spacing changes on a mobile device. Distinct: This feature can be used without membership for everyday document formatting. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft documents this feature mainly through desktop menu paths, so the mobile quick-adjust path is less direct in the cited page. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs documents more preset and custom spacing options, but the cited help content is mainly organized around computer editing. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses more on page styling and block-based content than traditional paragraph line spacing controls. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat line spacing is part of PDF text editing rather than a standard word-processing document workflow. |
