Hi Chris and May, Chris gave the information on how to set up double spacing in TextEdit -- which is that when you are rich text format and interact with the ruler and VO-Right there is a paragraph and line spacing button that will let you change the spacing of selected text. However, another thing you can do, if you know that you want to use double spacing and your currently selected font, is to create a style using the first button in the ruler. VO-Space on "Style" and arrow down to select "Other". The window that appears will tell you your current font type, alignment, and spacing setting. If you VO-Right arrow to the "Add to Favorites" button and press it (VO-Space), then a dialog window will appear asking you to type in a name for your style (and optionally ignore your font selection). If you save the style file, you can simply move to the Ruler, interact, press (VO-Space) the first style button, and select your style. Then if you start typing in a new document, you will start in double-spaced mode and with the font type/ size and alignment options you have chosen. Also, if you open an RTF file that someone else has sent you and you want to save the font, etc. settings you can create a style file for that.
