INTRODUCTION
You cannot use the number of lines as a measurement when you configure paragraph spacing in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 or in Microsoft Office Excel 2007.



MORE INFORMATION
When you configure paragraph spacing in Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003 and in Microsoft Office Excel 2003, you specify the number of lines to add before or after a paragraph. This is the default behavior. In PowerPoint 2007 and in Excel 2007, you cannot specify the number of lines to add before or after a paragraph. Instead, you use points (pt) as a measurement when you configure paragraph spacing.

To configure paragraph spacing in PowerPoint 2007, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click the text box that you want to format.
 * 2) On the Home tab, click Line Spacing in the Paragraph group. Then, click More.
 * 3) Under Spacing, enter a value for the space before a paragraph in the Before box.
 * 4) In the After box, enter a value for the space after a paragraph, and then click OK.

To configure paragraph spacing in Excel 2007, follow these steps:
 * 1) Right-click the text box or the shape that you want to format, and then click Paragraph.
 * 2) Under Spacing, enter a value for the space before a paragraph in the Before box.
 * 3) In the After box, enter a value for the space after a paragraph, and then click OK.
