[ARCHIVED] Line spacing in text box?

[cecuevas]

How do I change line spacing in the rich text box for assignments, after copying text in from a word document.

Thanks!

 @cecuevas , greetings! I'm not sure exactly what type of line spacing you are wanting to do, but in general, it's not easy to manipulate things like this without digging into the HTML code. If this is a course/class requirement, then I'd check with your teacher to see how they would like you to proceed.

 @cecuevas  Welcome to the Canvas Community! Kona has given you great advice. Copy-pasting text directly from a Word doc to the Canvas Rich Content Editor (RCE) is always problematic, because Word has its own customized code that doesn't translate well to rich text editors generally; a lot of extraneous code comes with the copy. Consider searching the internet for a free DOC-to-TXT converter to copy the text into before bringing it into Canvas; that will strip out all of the unnecessary code and might solve the line spacing issue as well.

Thanks! Great advice.
