Very simple. How do you put a carriage feed, line feed, lead, extra space, whatever you want to cal it between lines in Adobe Ic? It should not be that hard! Every other word program out there simply has it at the top of the page to select. I can find it nowhere, and writing a book..well, we double-space for the viewers reading comfort. It makes for less printed material, but that is what everyone is accustomed to now. Someone must know how to do this. I have figured out the rest of it. ...and it ain't "intuitively obvious." -Bill

You can adjust the leading by using the option seen in the picture below.

However, I would personally suggest that this is handled with paragraph styles rather than adjusting it manually in InCopy.

I get the feeling the OP is trying to use InCopy as a replacement for Word.

Yes, you may be right about that – and it will certainly be a very unpleasant experience. (Especially when it comes to trying to add additional pages.) But if anybody else in the future wonders about the "Leading" tool the answer is there.

I'm a writer. The problem that is occurring seems to be as follows: 1) I can't figure out how to get double spacing throughout the document in "paragraph style," b) I see the lead options at the bottom of the page and I have selected the "doublespace" option, and III) this takes care of it in "galley view" and "story view" formats, but not the "layout view."formats, where my novel reverts back to single-spaced.

In the past I typed on a stand-up underwood and during the transition simply gave material to clerks who put it into a word processor. All of this need to know how to be a clerk, is very distracting from my finding out how what will happen next in this story I'm writing. Please help! - Guy Alain

Why are you using InCopy for this?

InCopy is intended to either edit or create content for InDesign layouts.

Unless you’re handing this off to a designer using InDesign there is zero reason for you to be using InCopy.
