How do you increase the spacing between paragraphs?

Increasing the spacing between paragraphs is accomplished by adjusting the 'Before' and 'After' paragraph spacing settings. This method allows you to specify how much space you want to appear before a paragraph begins and after it ends, providing greater control over the overall layout and readability of the text. This is particularly useful for enhancing visual separation between different sections of text, making it easier for readers to distinguish between paragraphs.

Using 'Line Spacing' refers to the space between lines within the same paragraph rather than between separate paragraphs, which is why it does not specifically address the question. Selecting 'Indentation' changes the starting point of a paragraph rather than modifying the space before or after it. Changing the font size primarily affects the size of the text and does not specifically address spacing, which can lead to a cramped layout if not managed properly. Thus, the most direct and effective way to increase spacing between paragraphs is through the 'Before' and 'After' settings in the paragraph formatting options.
