The amount of space between the lines of text is
technically called leading in the print business. For several
hundred years each letter of type was made from wood or metal and placed into a key frame.
The rows of type were separated by strips of thin, lead bar: the leading. In
Microsoft Word the leading is called Line Spacing.
