To set to 1.5-line spacing, on the Format menu, click Paragraph, then set line spacing to Double. Or press CTRL+5.
To double-space lines, on the Format menu, click Paragraph, then set line spacing to Double. Or press CTRL+2.
If you select Exactly or At least for line spacing, enter the amount of space you want in the At box. If you select Multiple, enter the number of lines in the At box.

Paragraph spacing determines the amount of space above or below a paragraph. Here's how to change spacing before and after paragraphs in Microsoft Word:
