Using the Microsoft Word Toolbar
Open your Microsoft Word Document. Your document should load with the "Home" tab, which displays most of the basic text property settings, open by default.

Click the "Line and Paragraph Spacing" button. This is the button with a vertical arrow pointing both up and down; you can find it in the "Paragraph" section of the Home tab.
Click "2.0". Your highlighted text should now be double-spaced!
