Why is the enter key creating double spacing in Google Docs and how to get rid of that?
By default, Google Docs creates a single space. But, If you can set a double spacing in the paragraph and if you press the ‘enter key‘, there is a high chance that you will get double spaces in between your Paragraphs.
The double-spaced text has a full blank line between each row of text.
If you want to get rid of the double-spacing or avoid the double-spacing when you are trying to hit the “ Enter” key, follow the below instructions.
- Set spacing after and before to “0”
- Click on the “Line spacing” option that is present at the top right of your Google Docs document and then you need to click on the “remove space before paragraph” option.
