Set line and paragraph spacing in Pages on iPad

You can increase or decrease the spacing between lines in a paragraph and before and after a paragraph.

Set line spacing

  1. Tap in a paragraph or select specific text or tap a text box or a shape with text.

    You can’t adjust line spacing for text in a table cell.

    Note: If you’re using paragraph styles in your document and want to incorporate the line spacing change in the paragraph style, drag past the last character in the paragraph to include the formatting symbol (it’s invisible until you drag over it). See Intro to formatting symbols.

  2. Tap the Format button (then tap Text if you selected a text box or shape).

  3. Tap Line Spacing, then tap the Adjustable button next to Spacing to decrease or increase the spacing, or tap the value next to Spacing and enter a new value.
