2.5.2. Line and Paragraph Spacing
Just as you can format spacing between lines in your document, you can also choose spacing options between each paragraph.

Line spacing is measured in lines or points, which is referred to as leading. When you reduce the leading, you automatically bring the lines of text closer together. Increasing the leading will space the lines out, allowing for improved readability.
