How-To: Modify a style's paragraph spacing - OpenOffice.org
- To modify the paragraph spacing of a particular style, first remember to open the "Styles and Formatting" window. You can do this quickly by pressing "F11" on the keyboard.

- A menu should then appear. Click on the option "Modify..."
- The window for editing styles should open. Now, look for the "Indents & Spacing" tab and click on it once.

- Across them you can adjust the fields for the spacing above and below paragraphs. Just click on the up and down arrows here to adjust the spacing.
- Once you're done adjusting, click on "OK."
- Great! Notice that the text with the "text body" style has changed its paragraph spacing to match our setting. Congratulations!
