Word 365 Inserting blank lines.

The problem you are having is that Word does not work with "lines" but with paragraphs. If you pressed the Enter key at the end of each line, then you do have a paragraph for each line.

If that is the case, try the following:

Press Cmd+H for Replace.

For find type: ^p

For replace: type ^p^p

That will insert a blank paragraph after each existing one. You'll have to press the Enter key once, yourself, at the beginning of the document to insert the blank paragraph there.

If you did not press Enter at the end of each line originally write back and someone can come up with a macro.

Hi Ken,

I assume you would be using images for your chord notations. If your lyric sheets do not include anything other than your chord notations, Bob's suggestion should do it for you. Once you've tried it you should mark it as the Answer.

If this is actually sheet music with full music notation images, you would want to use a style for the lines of the lyrics.

One simple solution would be to set the Line Spacing to Double, Triple or greater using the Line Spacing tool in the Paragraph group on the Home tab of the Ribbon.

Exact Line Spacing values can be set by going to the Format> Paragraph dialog.
