This will double space until you use a different style. If you want all your documents double spaced change your default template. You can also set up a style that is double spaced and "followed by" itself. Selecting that style will then put you into double spaced "mode" until you change styles. On my system, the style named "Text body" has 0.21cm below paragraph but that could easily be changed for your purposes and saved in the default template; or you could invent a new style. The reason it might need changing is that an exact measurement will not look double spaced for different font sizes whereas "double spaced" is relative to the font size. Please read about styles and templates in the Help and in the on-line documentation. The following links might help: http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/index.html - look for "styles" and "templates" within this page and read the relevant documents http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/index.html - there are introductory documents which cover styles and templates within the body of the dcument.
