Default paragraph line spacing

And you can confirm this by setting "Multiple" to 1, which will convert to
"Single."

Multiple is based on "single," which includes the leading.

Ohhhhhh, so "multiple" is like em in HTML css (cascading style sheets)
-supposedly very handy and user-setup friendly since relative font size and
spacing specified by em could still be applied when the user specifies a
different.

Why don't they tell us this stuff? Here I thought "multiple" was another MS
misnomer.

But, is "multiple" based on the point size of the font alone or on the point
size plus leading (in Word 120% of the point size)?

FWIW, you can use Multiple line spacing, which does adjust to the point size
of the text. This allows you to set something between 1 and 1.5; it also
(though this is not obvious) allows you to set less than one line: I often
back off to .99 or .98 lines to fit copy.

on the QAT will display the current setting. I hope that is the same for
Word 2007.
