Hi Brianna, Tim, Marlaina, and Others,

I wanted to add a suggestion that will make it easier for you to use
TextEdit: once you have configured the spacing and fonts to your
satisfaction, save these settings as a style file under a name of your
choice.  Then, when you want to create a Rich Text document with
double spacing and a specific font, all you need to do is navigate to
the ruler, select that style from the first pop up button, and start
typing.

I'll paste in old instructions for saving to a style file to TextEdit
when working in Rich Text Mode, which I think are still applicable:

1. Interact with the "Styles" pop up button in the ruler and select
"Other".
2. Then in the dialog window that appears, press the "Add to
favorites" button and supply a name for the style. You can check the
boxes for "Include the ruler as part of the style" and "include the
font as part of the style".
3. To use one of your saved style files when you open a new TextEdit
window, first ensure that your window is set to rich text format (you
can switch to this from the "View" menu, or use the Command+Shift+T
shortcut), then choose the template from the pop up "Styles" button in
the ruler.
4. This will automatically set your page to the line spacing, font
type, and alignment options that you set up for this style.

Tim's web pages have always been my favorite place to point out to new
Mac users. They're laid out the way I would want to lean VoiceOver.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther
