Hi Kimberly,
1. To set the line spacing in TextEdit:
• Stop Interacting with the Edit field.
• Navigate to the Ruler and Interact With it.
• Navigate to the Paragraph and Line Spacing menu and press it with
VO-space.
• choose your desired line spacing.
2. To choose a font:
• Either highlight what you wish in a specific font or this font will
begin from where the cursor is.
• Press cmd-t to bring up the Font window.
• Ignore most of the stuff but navigate to the Family Table.
• Interact With it.
• Navigate to your desired Font through the alphabetically ordered
Table.
• Once you have found it, bring the mouse cursor to it using VO-cmd-f5.
(Add the fn key if on a laptop)
• Press VO-shift-space for the mouse-click as focus doesn't really go
there without the mouse-click.
• Press cmd-w to close the Font window.
• Start typing and your font will be in your desired font.
Remember that you can press VO-t to confirm the font and style of your text.
Just play around some more, it will come to you.
HTH.
Later...
