Effectively, the amount of automatic (based on font size) spacing is limited to 200% in Proportional mode. This is another too protective limitation of LO Writer. But you have a work around.

Set mode to Fixed and enter an absolute value. Of course, if you change the font size, you must update the value.

A point is 1/72 inch. Therefore, a 12pt font size is 1/6 inch. To get triple line spacing, the distance is 1/2 inch or 1,27 cm.

it works. thankyou very much.

You can simply edit the dialog template in LibreOffice installation to remove the arbitrary limit. Open <LibreOffice install path>/share/config/soffice.cfg/cui/ui/paraindentspacing.ui, and remove the <property name="upper">200</property> inside <object class="GtkAdjustment" id="adjustmentLINEDISTPERCENT"> element. You might also change the lower limit there to 6, to match the limit of MS Word :slight_smile:

Unfortunately the “fix” I suggested is not enough: the code uses 8-bit variables and expects 200 left and right. I address that in the fix tracked in the bug mentioned above.
