= SYMPTOMS =

Double-spaced line spacing in Microsoft Word for Windows is always interpreted as 24 points per line, regardless of the font size of the selected text. For example, if you use a 9-point font size and choose the double-space option on the ruler, Word still allows 24 points per line. Similarly, 1 1/2 line spacing always measures 18 points per line.

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Word for Windows listed above. This problem was corrected in Word version 6.0 for Windows.

= MORE INFORMATION =

This feature may present some problems if you use a 24-point font and decide to change to double spacing. The line spacing does not appear to change because it is already set to 24 points per line.
