Sorry Gerald but this is not correct. Jaws will not announce blank between lines in double spacing for the simple reason that there are no blank lines. Remember double spacing does not mean blank lines it means simply that the spacing for a single line is greater.
So pressing the down arrow on single spacing and double spacing will achieve identical results in terms of reading the double spaced or single spaced lines of text. I have just tried this out to make sure that I was correct. You can however tell if spacing is single or double spacing simply by pressing Insert F in Jaws which will deliver the format information for any line.

The only way to get single spacing is to either change the style set to Word 2003 or change the line spacing options in the Paragraph dialog (Alt-P, PG). To verify the line spacing in the document, you should read it one line at a time using the down arrow. If you hear "blank" between lines, you know you have double spacing. If you don't hear "blank" between lines, you know you have single spacing. You cannot determine line spacing when reading in JAWS say all mode, because blank lines are not announced.
