Microsoft Word Practice Exam

The concept being tested is paragraph spacing. This is the vertical space that appears between two paragraphs, not the space at the start of a paragraph or the space within a paragraph itself. Indentation shifts the first line of a paragraph horizontally, which is a different kind of spacing. Line spacing changes how tightly or loosely lines sit within the same paragraph, while tabs move the cursor to specific horizontal positions. In Word, you adjust the amount of space after a paragraph (and sometimes before) to control how much space appears between blocks of text. This is typically set in the Paragraph settings as After (and Before) spacing, measured in points. Increasing the After value adds more space before the next paragraph, making the separation more pronounced.
